The RCI office is a liaison between the residents, the installation staff, and Corvias. The RCI office here at Fort Polk is the government side of the partnership. The primary source of information on family housing is Corvias Military Housing. They have information on availability of on-post housing. Visit the RCI office at 1957 Louisiana Avenue, Bldg T-1807 or call 337-531-6000; DSN 312-863-6000.
The government side of the project (RCI) oversees, monitors, mediate, and arbitrates the daily operations of the partnership. RCI also manages all rental listings for off-post. The RCI office also manages a limited number of two-bedroom homes for Senior Bachelors in the grades E7-E9, Warrant Officers, and Officers.
In a rare case where a question is not answered or an issue is not resolved at the Corvias Neighborhood office or at the Corvias Community office, Fort Polk maintains a small staff at the RCI office as backup for residents and Corvias- but this is only for use after consulting with your neighborhood and community offices.

Off-post housing options include apartments, duplexes, townhouses, mobile homes, mobile home parks and single/double dwelling homes. Furnished apartments are very difficult to find and usually very expensive to rent.
Fort Polk is a medium cost of living area. There is a shortage of rental properties due to the influx of new service members, family members and civilian contractors to the installation. Although there are new houses and apartments going up every day, the availability cannot keep up with the demand. Houses can sell for $79,000-$300,000; rental property goes from $600-$1,700 a month.
Most landlords will require first and last month’s rent upfront and some may require you to pay a portion of utilities rather than you having a meter of your own. It is important that your lease contain a military clause to allow you to terminate your lease early should you deploy or receive permanent change of station orders. Always take all relative and important paperwork to the Housing Assistance Office or Legal Assistance Office before you sign.
For more information, you may contact the Housing Assistance project manager at 337-531-6000 or DSN 312-863-6000; or the customer service/liaison at 337-531-7277 or DSN 312-863-7277, or go to 1820 Corps Road, Building 330, Fort Polk, LA 71459.
