All active-duty members assigned to Oahu and Kauai are eligible to apply for Navy Public/Private Venture housing.

Priority for placement on waiting list is determined by local Business Agreements.

HSC hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.- 4 p.m.

PPV quality standards and amenities are comparable to what the private sector builds, renovates or operates for civilians with the same overall income ranges in the community.

It is different from traditional military construction in that PPV homes are built quicker and are generally more spacious. Service members receive a Basic Allowance for Housing and pay rent directly to the PPV partner who is the landlord.
