Temporary Housing

Generally speaking, quarters are available for almost every service member under permanent change of station orders.

Your sponsor will need a copy of your orders to make arrangements for your quarters. The quarters will be equipped with loaner furniture. Sponsors will sign for items from the Army Community Service’s Loan Closet to complete your living arrangements. In the rare event that quarters are not available upon your arrival, assistance will be provided to arrange for temporary accommodations pending the availability of suitable quarters. Your sponsor will communicate this to you in advance of your arrival.

Temporary quarters are not available to civilian employees upon their arrival; however, Garmisch, and the surrounding area, are plentiful with vacation apartments (Ferienwohnungen) that are perfect temporary accommodations. There are numerous hotels and bed and breakfasts as well. Your sponsor can provide information for you.

Temporary quarters are not available to accommodate new arrivals. However, in only rare instances are appropriate quarters not available for the active-duty service members. All necessary arrangements will be coordinated through your sponsor. Civilian employees will be assisted by their sponsor to arrange for temporary living accommodations on the local economy. As mentioned previously, numerous options are available to fill this need.
