An Army family at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, says they have been displaced from their home for more than 50 days after finding mold in their home, and dead animals and insects in their vents.

The housing at Fort Belvoir is run by The Michaels Organization, which took over the portfolio from Clark Realty Capital last year. The Michaels Organization’s website calls The Villages at Belvoir a “welcoming enclave defined by character and convenience,” full of “charming homes” and run by a “management team dedicated to improving your quality of life.”
That’s far from the experience that Breanna Bragg and her husband, Army Staff Sgt. Denzale Bragg, have had.
The Bragg family, which also includes two children ages seven and one, have been living in a temporary home since June after a leak began pouring water from their second-floor bathroom through the ceiling into their dining room. During the time they’ve been out of their house, Breanna said the family has found mold, dead animals in the vents, and an insect infestation because of the dead animals.
They don’t have any of their things at the new home, Breanna said; they’ve been worried about contamination and ensuring that their things are safe. But she said that when the issue was discussed with a representative of The Villages at Belvoir, she was told if they wanted their household goods replaced, they’d have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
