Housing

As of October 1, 2007, all homes at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River have been privatized. There are two public-private venture partners, Atlantic Marine Corps Communities and Lincoln Military Housing. Privatized military housing is available for active-duty service members and their families stationed at MCB CAMLEJ and MCASNR. During periods of low occupancy, privatized military housing is available for waterfall applicants (other than active-duty families) and include active-duty single service members, reservists, Department of Defense civilians, contractors, retirees, widows, widowers and other affiliated civilians. Contact the Military Housing Office for additional information regarding your housing options.    

MCB CAMLEJ and MCASNR privatized military housing is considered some of the finest in the Marine Corps. The 5,204 housing units are maintained by the PPV partners. In addition to new construction, many housing units have been renovated. Updates to existing housing units are either in progress or programmed for future renovation. All homes offer central heating and air conditioning, washer and dryer hookups, a range, a microwave and a refrigerator. Cable/internet service is available but is not provided by the PPV partners.

Please visit the MHO website for information on applying for housing, required documents, wait times, floor plans and contact information.

Eligibility

Military personnel accompanied by bonafide dependents and permanently assigned to MCB CAMLEJ or MCASNR are eligible for family housing. They may apply for all types of quarters for which they are eligible.

Company grade officers with spouses only who desire to live in MCAS quarters qualify for no more than two-bedroom quarters in that housing area. All other officer quarters have three or four bedrooms, and assignments are made depending upon age and gender of dependents. Each family member of an enlisted military member, excluding the spouse, gets a bedroom regardless of age or gender.

On-Base Application Requirements

In-Person Applications:

Applications for on-base housing are accepted from 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (except holidays), at the MHO, Building TT-43, Inchon Street, Tarawa Terrace, NC 28543.

In the absence of the service member, the spouse may apply with a power of attorney and documentation proving the service member is attached to MCB CAMLEJ, MCASNR, or MCAS Cherry Point for duty. Note that a special power of attorney is required for lease signing. Information and downloadable forms are provided by the MCB Staff Judge Advocate at the Marine Corps Installations East website.  

Advance Applications:

An advance application may be submitted to the MHO at any time, provided the service member will be attached to CAMLEJ, MCASNR or MCASCP for duty. The MHO will use the date of receipt of a complete application package, including all qualifying documents and permanent change of station orders, as the control date for the MHO wait list. Note that your control date is no longer your date of detachment. 

Qualifying documents include the Application for Assignment to Housing (DD Form 1746), Privacy Act Release Form, Statement of Understanding, Sex Offender Policy Acknowledgement and Disclosure, Pet Registration Addendum (whether or not you have pets), Basic Individual Record for Marine personnel/Page 2 from the Service Record Book for Navy personnel. If documents are received separately, the control date will be established upon receipt of the latest document. You will receive a confirmation email from the MHO once the documentation has been received for processing. You will be informed that your application is complete and has been referred to the PPV partner or that additional information is required. If you do not receive a confirmation email within two business days, it is recommended that you follow up with the MHO on the status of your application. All forms can be found under the Required Documents tab on the MHO website.

Military Housing Office/Off-Base Housing Referral

The Military Housing Office can assist service members and their families in locating suitable off-base housing. In addition to providing rental listings, the Off-Base Housing Referral section can provide customers with locator maps, off-limit establishments and information on schools, recreation and places of worship in the local area.   

Rental Partnership Program

The Rental Partnership Program has been designed to provide service members, enlisted and officers, with cost defrayments of moving into rentals when choosing not to live on-base. RPP allows community property managers to voluntarily waive the security deposit and possibly waive additional fee requirements, and the service member agrees to pay his/her rent via a monthly allotment. The rental listings are evaluated and qualified by the MHO prior to acceptance into the program and are reviewed semiannually thereafter. Service members participating in the RPP can receive assistance from the MHO with landlord-tenant disputes, neighbor complaints, discrimination complaints and pay issues related to their rental property. All active-duty service members are eligible if they meet the qualifying criteria stated below. Note that single service members below the grade of E5 must have command approval to live off-base.

RPP Application – When to Apply

• Apply in person at the MHO, located at 43 Inchon Street, Tarawa Terrace (if you are in the local area)
• Apply when you have 14 or more months remaining on your end of active service for a one-year lease
• Apply when you have 11 months remaining on your EAS for a nine-month lease
• Apply when you have 8 months remaining on your EAS for a six-month lease

RPP Application Required Documents

• Copy of current Leave and Earning Statement
• Copy of Basic Individual Record
• Copy of original orders or Page 3-USMC or Page 5-Navy

• For a spouse applying with a power of attorney, an official email acknowledgment by the sponsor (If the service member is in the local area, he/she is required to come into the MHO to apply and process any required documentation for RPP program.)

RPP Application Requirements
• You are in receipt of Basic Allowance for Housing
• You have five or less active allotments
 

Advance RPP Application Requirements
Submit your Rental Partnership Program Application, current LES and permanent change of station orders to the MHO at the official mailbox: lejeunefamilyhousing@usmc.mil. Note the RPP application can be found on the MHO website.

Service members who are eligible to participate in the RPP will be provided with a letter of eligibility to present to the participating rental agency. The rental agency will then issue you a letter of intent. Please note you will not be enrolled in RPP until you provide the LOI to the MHO. After the initial lease term, the service member may continue in the program if he/she returns to the MHO to requalify for the program.

When the service member moves in, he/she will be provided with a Check-in Inspection Form. A representative from the MHO will accompany the service member for inspection of the property if the service member requests MHO assistance. All existing damages, needed repairs and the overall condition of the rental unit should be noted on the Check-in Inspection Form. This form should be submitted to the property manager and a copy kept by the service member for use at checkout. The service member should schedule a combined checkout inspection with the MHO and the property manager prior to vacating.

Mobile Homes

There are no mobile home parks aboard MCB CAMLEJ or MCASNR. No rental listings for mobile homes will be provided by the MHO.
