Housing Service Center is the Service member’s government advocate for assisting any type of housing: rental or purchase, on-base or off-base, community, government, and Public/Private Venture (PPV) at any installation worldwide.

Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) supports individual and family readiness through a full array of services and resources that help Navy families to be resilient, well-informed and adaptable to the Navy environment. The Naval Submarine Base New London serves active duty members, retired personnel, and family members with programs and services to enhance their quality of life.

Public/Private Venture (PPV) housing is also referred to as privatized housing in the Navy. We have partnered with Balfour Beatty Communities (BBC) to offer you and your family outstanding on-base housing choices. PPV housing at Naval Submarine Base New London is owned by BBC and governed by a business agreement in which the Navy has limited rights and responsibilities. BBC is entirely responsible for the construction, renovation, maintenance, and day-to-day management of the housing. PPV housing may be located on or off government property and in most cases will be former military housing.

Community Housing is any housing that a Sailor may choose that is not PPV or government-operated. This is housing outside of the base that is privately owned and operated. This can include apartment complexes and single-family homes for rent.

The Housing Service Center has a community referral program to assist military families, singles and geographical bachelors in locating housing within the local community. Service members will be able to obtain a personalized listing of available rentals which meet their specified criteria such as price range, location and number of bedrooms and baths. For additional information on this program, call the Housing Service Center at 860-694-3851 or email Housing.NSBNL.fct@navy.mil.

NOTE: New London County has a relatively high cost of living with the price of rentals ranging from $600 to $2000+ per month. Most rental properties require a first month’s rent for deposit. Many landlords require an additional pet deposit.

It is 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, the Fleet and Family Support Center staff can help you start the lengthy credit repair process.

The HSC 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. All renters should carry renter’s insurance against fire, theft and other damages. Take advantage of the resources available to you before you decide to sign a lease.

Leases: A lease is a legal contract between you and your landlord. A written lease is your protection against any misunderstandings regarding rights, responsibilities, and agreements concerning the property you are renting. It is necessary to include all the conditions you want in the lease to avoid any misunderstanding that can be costly to you. We strongly recommend you bring your lease to the HSC or Base Legal for review prior to signing.

Renters Insurance: If you had to replace all of your personal property due to fire, flood or other causes could you afford to do so? Your landlord's insurance does not cover your personal belongings. It is as important for a renter to have insurance as it is for a homeowner. Renter's insurance is reasonable in cost, and your insurance representative can assist you in determining the coverage that is best for you.

Liability Insurance: A renter's insurance policy may not protect you if you should accidentally damage the house, apartment or condominium you are living in or if you should suffer some type of a lawsuit resulting from your negligence within your home. All renters are encouraged to take the need for a supplemental general liability policy seriously. An accident resulting in fire or flood damage could become a financial burden to you for the rest of your life. A general liability policy is inexpensive and well worth the cost.

Rental Options: Rental Partnership Program Naval Submarine Base New London has an active Rental Partnership Program. This program is designed to provide active-duty military personnel with off-base housing at a reduced rate. Application fees and credit check fees are waived under this program. The service member may be charged a security deposit equal to one month's rent, contingent upon the outcome of the resident's selection criteria review. The landlord may deny renting to an RPP applicant based on prior negative rental history. The program requires applicants to meet income requirements, and the military tenant must agree to never allow their rent to fall into a delinquent status. The landlord may make renter's insurance and liability insurance mandatory for the military RPP applicant. Units that are offered for the RPP are evaluated and qualified to meet the highest standards. For additional information on this program, call the HSC at 860-694-3851 or DSN 694-3851 and ask for the RPP referral specialist.

Mobile Homes: There are no mobile home parks onboard the installation, but there are several community mobile home parks in the Groton New London area.
