Government Housing

Privatization Throughout the Department of Defense: Military installations have been privatizing their family housing communities in order to improve quality of life for service members and their families. Hunt Military Communities at Tri-command Family Housing is one of several privatization projects that will provide new construction, renovations, and property management for the next 50 years. As such, Hunt Military Communities at Tri-command Family Housing has a private partnership between Actus Lend Lease and the DoN and is proud to assume responsibility for housing at the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS), MCRD Parris Island, and the Naval Hospital. Tri-Command Property Management, as the agent for Hunt Military Communities at Tri-command Family Housing will perform the day-to-day property management responsibilities. The Hunt Military Communities Property Management staff and the associated on-site maintenance staff stand ready to assist residents in every possible way to ensure superior quality housing services and amenities.

Application

Service members can apply for housing prior to arrival by mailing or faxing a housing application along with detachment or web orders. The application can be obtained from the MCRD Parris Island housing office at 402 Blvd De France MCRD Parris Island, SC 29905 or you may call (843)228-2244. The service member with detachment orders can check in with the Officer In Charge, Installation Personnel Administration Center (IPAC) located at Bldg. 923. The service member can then provide endorsement and orders to the housing office in order to place their name on the waiting list or to accept available housing. The detachment date from your last permanent duty station is what becomes the control date on the wait list.
