The 1991 Defense Authorization Act, Public Law 101-510, created an
Armed Forces Retirement Home Trust Fund to finance the United States
Soldiers' and Airmen's Home and the United States Naval Home. The homes,
which are currently in operation, are financed by appropriations drawn
from the trust fund. The homes are administered by directors appointed
by the Secretary of Defense with oversight provided by the Armed Forces
Retirement Home Board. The Sheridan dormitory will be renovated in 1998.
Also, a 110-bed medical facility will be designed in 1998.
