That's the smartest idea yet...we've all been wondering why not go to a defunct base. Hooah Huckabee!
Most military housing and dorms are officialy classified as substandard for civilian use but OK for the military.
Carswell AFB (now Carswell NAS in Ft. Worth) is another base where the housing sits mostly empty (unless something has changed recently).
""Arkansas is considering using TWO military posts: Camp Robinson in North Little Rock and Fort Chaffee in Northwest Arkansas, Capt. Kristine Munn of the Arkansas National Guard said federal officials have asked the Guard to study the possibility of housing as many as 50,000 refugees at the two sites.
"We have not received anything official," Mumm said. "BUT we have been asked to look into that possibility"
At Fort Chaffee, the Guard has several WW11=era barracks, typically used during training, that could be used for refugee housing. Camp Robinson has some hotel-style accommodations that could also be used, Munn said.
