Unaccompanied members in paygrade of E-1 to E-4 (including E4 over 4 years of service) are required to live in Unaccompanied Housing. Assignments are based on eligibility and availability and do not guarantee members will reside on the same base that they work on. All rooms are fully furnished and have a microwave, refrigerator and stovetop. Common laundry rooms are available in each building. Members or their sponsors should contact the Housing Service Center to arrange a "Door-to-Door"/direct move to ensure they have a room upon arrival. Incoming TLA is not authorized for UH residents. Members are required to report to Housing within 48 working hours upon arrival to complete their check-in process and schedule an appointment for an orientation brief.

Residents can participate to the "Roommate Matching Program" and select the characteristics of their desired roommate. In addition, residents are encouraged to apply for the Resident Advisor program. Ask your sponsor about the program or contact the Housing Service Center.

Pet Policies in Government Unaccompanied Housing

Pets are not authorized to stay in Unaccompanied Housing facilities.

Unaccompanied service members E-5 and above, civilians, contractors, and NATO personnel are eligible for Economy Housing. The housing market in the area consists of apartments and villas. Apartments are generally located in multi-floor buildings close or in town centers while villas/houses are single homes with a fenced perimeter and generally located outside town centers. To find a list of currently available units search Homes.mil, which is the only website with inspected/approved units. Approved realtors have signed the “Realtor Program” agreement with the Housing Office and meet the standards and criteria established by CNIC and NASSIG procedures. Unapproved realtors are highly discouraged.

Apartments, townhouses or villas are generally leased for the duration of the tour. Members cannot hold or commit any properties prior to arrival. All properties must pass the Housing inspection and members must sign their lease through the Housing Service Center to receive housing services and OHA. Major appliances (e.g. refrigerator/freezer, washer, dryer, dishwasher) may not be shipped since they will be provided through the Housing Department.

Members are generally authorized TLA on arrival to search for a house. Personnel will schedule their mandatory Economy Housing brief, register for TLA, and submit the “Codice Fiscale” request. The Italian government prepares the Codice Fiscale (i.e. Fiscal Code) and this number is required for lease and utility contracts. A valid passport is required with the Codice Fiscale request. Personnel without a passport will not be able to live off-base. Please refer to the Defense Travel Management Office website for information about OHA, COLA, and TLA for this location.

Housing staff provide guidance and support for arriving personnel to include community orientation, entitlements general information, translation services, showing services, utility contract support, loaner furniture, and full tour furnishings/appliances.
