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.
