If your family is PCSing to a Air Force installation in Alaska, you may be able to apply for military family housing. The key step is to contact housing early because home size, location and waiting time can vary.

Family Housing Notes

Eligible Air Force families at JBER can apply for privatized family housing. Neighborhood, bedroom size and wait time depend on family needs and current availability. For questions, call 907-753-1023.

Check Housing Early

Waiting times can change quickly during busy moving months. Ask the housing office when your application can be started, which documents are required and how your place on a waiting list is set. Keep a backup off-base plan until a home is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What affects the size of the home I can get?

Family size, dependent information, rank or installation policy can affect bedroom eligibility. The housing office gives the final guidance.

Should I keep an off-base housing option in mind?

Yes. A backup plan is useful until the housing office confirms that a military home will be available when you need it.

Is family housing guaranteed after I receive orders?

No. Eligible families can apply, but home availability and waiting times change during the year.
