Government Housing

Availability

There are nearly 8000 units of family housing that include two, three, four and five-bedroom units designated by rank and family size. Homes are located both on and off the installation. In our junior noncommissioned officer inventory, two-bedrooms range from 930 to1,400 square feet, three-bedrooms range from 1,255 to1,728 square feet and four-bedrooms range from 1,388 to1,950 square feet.

Waiting times vary according to the supply versus demand for quarters at any given time.

Eligibility

Eligibility for housing is based on the following priority sequence:

• Priority one: key and essential accompanied or unaccompanied personnel
• Priority two: accompanied military personnel
• Priority three: accompanied military personnel assigned and attached for duty within 50 miles radius of the installations
• Priority four: unaccompanied family members of military personnel
• Priority five: unaccompanied military personnel (married or single)
• Priority six: retired Military personnel and spouses or widowed spouses of retired military personnel
• Priority seven: Department of Defense and federal agency civilians.
• Priority eight: DoD Contractors.
• Priority nine: Nonmilitary, nonDoD or nonfederal agency personnel (general public).

All service members who have command sponsorship for their families are authorized government quarters. Factors influencing waiting time are time of year (Quarters turnover is usually much faster during the summer months.), rank and the number of bedrooms required (the size of your family). You could have no waiting at all, or you may wait as long as 14 months.
