All military personnel, married or single, reporting to sea or shore commands in the Hampton Roads area are required to report to the Navy Housing Service Center prior to executing any agreement for non-government quarters. The Welcome Center is authorized to maintain a signed acknowledgement of notification to military members of any housing areas restricted by sanction.
The priority of assignment to government housing is determined by the date of detachment (control date) from your last permanent duty station, provided you check in and apply for government housing within the first 30 days after your arrival. If you complete the application after the 30-day window, the control date becomes the date you turn in your application.
Note:
Hampton Roads has a relatively high cost of living, with the price of rentals ranging from $700-$1,800 per month. Most rental properties require a first (and sometimes a last month’s rent) as a deposit. Many landlords require an additional pet deposit.
It is a standard practice for landlords and property managers to run credit history checks on potential tenants. Negative findings may limit your rental options and make the rental process very difficult. If you are having credit issues, Fleet and Family Support Center staff can help you begin the lengthy process of repairing your credit.
Rental options
You are required to check in at the Norfolk Housing Welcome Center to have your orders endorsed as part of your check-in process. OPNAVINST 11101.21D requires you to contact the Housing Office before negotiating a lease or mortgage contract. The office has a variety of services designed to help military families locate housing, whether they are renting or buying. The Norfolk Housing Welcome Center maintains a database of both rental and sales listings. Most rental properties require a security deposit equal to one month’s rent.
The Navy Housing Service Center is your contact for any problems you may encounter such as discrimination complaints, tenant-landlord disputes or any questions or problems about living in the community. The Welcome Center will provide you with a list of rentals and give you information regarding the communities in which the rentals are located. All renters should carry renters’ insurance against fire, theft and other damages. Take advantage of the resources available to you before you decide to sign a lease.
Rental Partnership Program
The Rental Partnership Program is a unique program that provides military personnel with affordable off-base housing that is 5% below market rates. The landlord may charge a fee up to $50 for review of the rental application. A security deposit may be required, reduced or waived depending on the applicant's credit worthiness.
To apply, you will need to provide your current orders and a Leave and Earnings Statement. The service member pays rent by allotment and agrees to a 12-month lease. Also, a representative authorized by a specific power of attorney to apply for RPP on a service member’s behalf may be utilized. In order to complete the allotment, the service member or POA must be present to sign the allotment form. Single military personnel, E-5 and below, need command approval to live off base.
Public-private venture
The Navy is in a partnership with Lincoln Military Housing for the management of government-owned housing in the Hampton Roads area. Service members seeking public-private venture housing must have:
There may be a waiting list for some of the PPV homes in the Hampton Roads area. To receive your detachment date from your last permanent duty station as your control date, you must contact the Housing Office within 30 days of your report date to your new command. You can also submit an advance application via our housing website. A service member may also appoint a representative with a specific POA to apply for housing.
Hampton Roads has several housing areas. There are 22 enlisted housing areas with about 4,000 units and 11 officer housing areas with a total of 202 units. The housing assignment is predicated upon your needs and availability.
The waiting list for PPV housing varies, depending on the geographical area and the number of bedrooms. To get a a current list of wait times and more information on PPV housing, go to the Liberty Military Housing website. In most cases, you may need to live in civilian housing before being referred to PPV homes. Because the wait list can fluctuate, it is recommended that you check with the Housing Office for housing availability prior to entering into a lease agreement.
Should you apply for PPV housing upon arrival or in advance, you can exercise your option to accept or decline at the time you are notified that PPV housing becomes available.
Purchase options
The Housing Referral Office offers home-buying workshops and, in conjunction with the Fleet and Family Support Center, facilitates Virginia Housing and Development Authority homeownership workshops. The workshops educate the buyer on the process of purchasing a home, help with understanding financing and working with real estate agents and lenders, as well as learning about home inspections. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned buyer, everyone can benefit from the combined local knowledge of the workshop leaders. For a current schedule of workshops, contact the HRO or your FFSC.
Houses in Hampton Roads are relatively expensive, with the average home sale price hovering around $215,000. The housing market in Hampton Roads experiences the same trends as those of other areas. Because this is an area populated by military members, there are always new members arriving who will want to purchase instead of rent. Counseling is provided to homeowners on various foreclosure assistance programs.
Command briefings
Housing provides briefings and training for fleet and shore commands, ombudsmen and the civilian community. For more information, contact our office at 757-444-2722 ask for Stephanie Mays.

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned buyer, you can benefit from the combined local knowledge of the workshop leaders. These informative workshops are scheduled routinely.
Veterans Affairs workshops are conducted monthly to provide information to the military homebuyer on the steps necessary to apply for a VA-guaranteed, no money down home mortgage.
Virginia Housing Development Authority home purchase
The VHDA offers a home ownership program specifically for military personnel purchasing homes in Virginia.

Family members designated as Categories IV and V EFMs are severely disabled, and Navy Housing strives to provide permanency in living arrangements. As a result, EFM Categories IV and V are placed directly below the freeze zone (top 10% of any waitlist). When two or more members are waiting for assignment, the higher of the EFM categories will be given priority in assignment. If members are designated in the same EFM Category, the actual control date will determine the priority of assignment unless written notification is provided by the medical authority indicating unique circumstances. Other EFMP categories and situations are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Some units are handicap accessible and available upon request. Adjustments may be made as necessary within houses in other areas. All housing is air conditioned and generators are not part of the standard equipment offered in private housing.
