Family Housing Notes

Shaw has family housing for eligible service members. The housing office can explain current home availability, bedroom eligibility and the application process. For questions, call 803-895-2422.

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.
