Government Housing

Military Housing: Navy Region Southwest has partnered with Liberty Military Housing (LMH) in a Public-Private Venture to operate and manage on-base housing at NAS Lemoore. LMH provides a property management staff to respond to day to day maintenance and operations, while teaming with the Navy Housing Service Center (HSC) staff to provide Service Member advocacy services and support. There are currently 1,628 family housing units consisting of 194 officer and 1,434 enlisted.

Availability

Housing is available to all pay grades. The waiting list varies from less than one month to more than six months, depending on the size of the family and the service member's pay grade. The Navy HSC determines eligibility and manages the waiting list. Housing is open to all Active-Duty military personnel.

Resident Eligibility, Requirements and Application Process

Active-Duty military personnel with dependents are eligible for and are the primary residents of LMH. If you desire to live in LMH or are considering it, you may submit a housing application to the Navy HSC who will determine eligibility, process the application, and maintain the waiting list.

To apply for LMH you will need to submit an application along with your Permanent Change of Station Orders to NAS Lemoore, Record of Emergency Data (Page 2) and Detaching Endorsement from present Command. Even though you may submit your application early, the official date on the waiting list will begin effective the date of “detachment” from your last permanent duty station. You must check into the HSC within 30 days of arrival to secure full local move benefits and secure control date. Application may be made in person or submitted by mail, fax, or email. Those not submitted in person must be confirmed within 30 days of reporting. Waiting times vary depending on rank and family size. Contact the NAS Lemoore Navy HSC for an application and additional information.

Reporting Requirements

All Service Members seeking on-base housing must check in at the Navy HSC which is located at 800 Bon Homme Richard Road. Recommend that Service Members who plan to live off the Installation check in with the Navy HSC (preferably prior to signing a lease) in order to receive assistance in house hunting or mediation of tenant-landlord disputes.

Non-Government Housing: Referral to non-government housing located in nearby civilian communities includes up-to-date rental information for apartments, condos and single family homes. Your referral counselor is your first point of contact for any problems you may encounter such as discrimination complaints, tenant rights, landlord disputes, or any questions or problems regarding off-base housing. Locator maps and other great information is available here for community living. Ask about the availability of a Rental Partnership Program (RPP) if you are planning to rent; this program partners with the local property managers who provide discounted security deposit, no credit check fee, and even a monthly rent discount.

Please note: All renters should carry renter's insurance against fire, theft and other damages. The property owner's insurance will cover the property but not the renter's personal property.
