Housing

Family Housing

Accompanied personnel reporting to Naval Air Station Sigonella have the option to reside in government family housing or off-base in the community via referral. Within two business days of arrival, personnel must check-in at the local Housing Service Center for the first visit. The local HSC processes applications, reviews temporary quarters eligibility and assigns personnel to housing per their eligibility.

There are two family housing neighborhoods located aboard NAS Sigonella:

• NAS I Hillis Drive for senior and flag officers
• Marinai for accompanied personnel

Unaccompanied Housing

Housing for unaccompanied personnel at Naval Air Station Sigonella includes either unaccompanied housing or housing in the local community. UH accommodations are assigned for all E-1 through E-4 unaccompanied personnel. Unaccompanied and geographical bachelors E-5 and above will be required to live on the economy.

All arriving E-4 personnel should ensure they have a passport prior to arrival in Sigonella.

Community Housing

Housing referral services are available to all eligible military personnel, DOW civilians under a transportation agreement, and DOW contractors with a signed MOA/ISSA. All unaccompanied E5 and above personnel, including geo-bachelors, are required to live in the local community. Any accompanied personnel have the option to live off-base or in government family housing. DOW contractors not serving under a MOA/ISSA are entitled to translation assistance and utility and telephone services on a limited basis. All personnel who will be required to lease a property from the local community must have a valid tourist or No Fee passport on hand upon arrival at NAS Sigonella.

HSC assists with locating off-base housing in the local area, including:

• Overseas Housing Allowance and entitlements
• House hunting tours provide the opportunity to see available private rentals in the community. All listings of available rentals are pre-inspected for suitability and must meet minimum standards for safety and security before a contract may be negotiated through the Housing Department.
• Lease Negotiation: When you obtain your lease through the Housing Department, our staff will verify the presence of the Military Clause and ensure compliance with Italian law. Rents are paid in Euro and typically range between €1,000 and €2,000 per month. Because rents are established in Euro, the equivalency in U.S. currency will fluctuate with the exchange rate.
• Translation Services: Assistance throughout the duration of your tour with all aspects of the unit you occupy, including maintenance service scheduling, utility billing discrepancies, lease amendments, legal advice referrals, and termination services.
• Assistance in arranging for utility contracts (including electricity, water, and gas) and ongoing liaison with utility companies throughout your tour.
• Short-term rental or lease information.
• Temporary loaner & full tour furnishings.
