Housing

Leased Government Housing (LGH) is a program designed to offset the high costs of finding a suitable home while living in a geographically dispersed location. Service members relinquish their Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and in exchange, the Corps of Engineers enters into a lease agreement with the property owner. Rent and basic utilities such as electric, gas, water and sewage are taken care of through the Corp of Engineers. If interested, service members should email usarmy.knox.usacc.mbx.usacclgh@army.mil for further information and to apply for the LGH program prior to their arrival at their unit.

Eligibility for Family Leased Housing:

1. The program is open to all ranks for Soldiers with dependents.
2. All eligible personnel must be receiving BAH at the ‘with dependent rate' and accompanied by dependents. In cases of joint custody of dependents, only the Soldier who has custody for more than six months per year is eligible.
3. Permanent duty station must be located in a location that is greater than a one-hour commute from a military installation that has Government housing.
4. If adequate suitable housing is identified by the Corps of Engineers but declined by the Soldier, the Soldier is dropped from the program. They cannot reapply for the program until they have orders for a permanent change of duty station.
5. Total annual cost of housing plus utilities must not exceed the maximum annual cap set by the Corps of Engineers
