What Families Should Know

Military family housing is not automatically assigned with PCS orders. Families normally need an application and supporting documents. Contacting housing early is the easiest way to learn current availability and avoid last-minute surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can I contact housing before I arrive?

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