At JBLM, the HSO offers the Rental Partnership Program (RPP) to help service members and their families find affordable, off-base housing. The intent is to help ease the financial stress of PCS moves and other major transitions by encouraging landlords to provide a 5 percent or more discount on monthly rent, waive security/rent deposits and waive fees for credit checks. Contact the HSO at 253-967-3581 for more information about this program, or visit the JBLM RPP webpage.

There are approximately 5,000 family housing units in 22 communities, each equipped with a stove and refrigerator, dishwasher and/or disposal, and washer/dryer hook-up. Many of the units have either a carport or garage. Home type pictures and floor plans can be viewed online.
