    "body_md": "The U.S. Coast Guard announced it awarded a contract to build thirty new houses at its base on Kodiak Island. The homes will be fifteen duplexes, with a mix of three-bedroom and four-bedroom units.\n\nThe contract is valued at about eighty-two million dollars, and construction is expected to wrap up in 2028. For families stationed at the base, that means a fixed timeline for new housing to come online.\n\nAlong with the new housing, the project also includes a brand new childcare center. That facility is expected to serve more than two hundred children, with an outdoor play area built alongside it.\n\nCoast Guard leadership said the new homes and the childcare center represent a significant investment in the people who serve there. The goal is to make sure military families have what they need to thrive.\n\nThis is the final phase of a larger housing effort at the base. In 2025, the first phase delivered fifty new housing units at the same site.\n\nThe timing also comes just one day after the Coast Guard announced that two of its new Arctic security vessels will be homeported in Kodiak and Seward.",
