Base Alameda’s housing office manages Coast Guard housing and release procedures for the Bay Area. Families should contact the office before making permanent housing arrangements after receiving orders. For questions, call 206-815-6545.

Planning Your Move

Housing eligibility can depend on assignment, rank and family size. A housing office can also explain local rental options if an on-base home is not ready. Starting early gives you more time to compare choices before your report date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I contact housing before I arrive?

Yes. Calling early can help you understand the application, documents, home size and current waiting list.

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.
