Exceptional Family Members

Special needs or requirements that warrant consideration of advancement on the waiting list, please bring this to our attention at the time of your application. There are five categories of exceptional family member that identify the level of special care the member will require. Family members designated as categories IV and V EFMs are severely handicapped and permanency in living arrangements is desirable. Control dates for sponsors with family members in these two categories will be placed directly below the freeze zone (the top 10% of the waiting list).

Application and Eligibility

The following information is required from you in order to be placed on the waiting list(s) for assignment to Liberty military quarters:

• DD FORM 1746 (housing application)
• Copy of the orders assigning you to duty within the NBVC
• Dependency Information, page II
• Proof of detachment from previous duty station
• DD Form 2780 Lautenberg Amendment
• Addendum A (sex offender policy)
• Privately owned weapons registration forms
• Power of attorney (special POA if applying for Public/Private Venture housing

The control date for the establishment of your waiting period will be the date of detachment from previous duty station.

A POA is also required if someone other than the military sponsor will be accepting and signing for government quarters.

Military members are advised to place a hold date on housing applications if the family does not want to move into base housing during the members’ deployment or in a lease. You will be allowed to turn down one housing offer without losing your position on the waiting list.

You may place your name on the waiting list for one of three areas: Port Hueneme, Point Mugu or Camarillo. You can change your selection at anytime during the first 30 days after coming into the housing office without being penalized. If you change your selection after the 30-day period, your control date will change to the day you make the change. For example: On Sept. 1, 2019, you come into the housing office to confirm your name on the waiting list, and you chose Port Hueneme site. You can make changes to that selection until Oct. 1 with no penalty. If you come in on Oct. 2 to make a change, your new control date will be Oct. 2.

You will be offered housing only in the areas you select, and it’s up to the discretion of Lincoln housing to offer you more than two homes to choose from. Once you have moved into Liberty Military Housing, your name will be removed from all other housing waiting lists and relocation to another housing unit or area will not be permitted. Once you have been contacted for assignment to housing, you have 24 hours in which to notify your assignment specialist of your acceptance or non-acceptance. The member must agree in writing to accept a smaller unit than their bedroom requirement and that once assigned, they will not be eligible for a larger unit.

Single, pregnant military members may place their name on the waiting list upon confirmation of the pregnancy, but will not be assigned to quarters until after the beginning of the third trimester.

Sponsors who share custody of dependents must provide proof of legal custody specifically stating that the sponsor is entitled to custody for at least six consecutive months a year in order to have dependents considered for bedroom eligibility.

Waiting lists are established by bedroom category within each grade designation. Bedroom eligibility is based on family composition.
