Government Housing

There are no on-post government-owned family housing dwelling units at Camp Darby.

Availability-

Government Leased Quarters are provided upon availability. If quarters are available, an appointment will be scheduled to take you there to show the quarters prior to the offer acceptance if you do not have your own transportation. After this appointment, you will sign for the quarters offer and the official assignment day will be scheduled.

Once you have signed for the quarters, a condition report and the government furniture inventory will be performed by you and the inspector, and you will be instructed on the operation of your appliances. At this time, you will be authorized to contact the Central Furnishings Management Office to arrange delivery of additional loaner furniture should you need it.

Available homes can be viewed on Homes.mil and search “USAG Italy Livorno”

Please keep in mind, some landlords do not allow pets. Additionally, many rental homes in Italy come furnished and it may not be possible to have the furniture removed. Homes in Italy are generally smaller than in the US and do not have as much storage space. Most homes do not have closets. Wardrobes can be rented free of charge from the CFMO office. Please contact the housing office with any questions or clarifications about homes in Italy.

If you choose to use a private realtor, be prepared that Italian realtor fees can be ~ $1600 or more. If the housing office has no homes available that meet the qualifications your family is entitled to per regulation, then private realtor fees are eligible to be reimbursed.

Furnishings Management Office-

All Department of Defense personnel who are eligible for furnishings support may request furniture and appliance support. Those residing in government-leased quarters or private rentals are authorized to receive a loaner set of furnishings for 90 days (incoming - until household goods arrive), and 60 days (outgoing - upon pickup of HHGs). The loaner sets will accommodate basic needs of beds, chairs, tables and other furniture needed to occupy housing in the absence of personal HHGs. The furnishings management officer may extend the incoming period if household goods shipments are delayed beyond 90 days.

Major appliances - washers, dryers, refrigerators and stoves, American Forces Network television decoders, wardrobes and freestanding kitchen cabinets, if required, are authorized to eligible DOD personnel for the duration of their overseas tour. Based on the aforementioned, do not ship major appliances to this community from the continental United States with your household goods.

DPW, Self Help Pick-up Point-

Residents of government-leased housing are eligible to sign out equipment for household maintenance (lawnmowers, ladders, etc.) and some replacement >supplies for quarters. Residents of barracks or dormitories need to coordinate requests for equipment or supplies through their barracks/dormitory manager/point of contact. Residents of private rental housing are able to borrow equipment (no consumable supplies are authorized for issue to private rental residents) while waiting for household goods to arrive, and when household goods have been shipped prior to a permanent change of station out. For hours of operation and contact information, go to the Garrison website.

Application-

As a part of in-processing, you will report to the Housing Office within two business days of arriving at Camp Darby. Upon reporting to the Housing Office, you will be interviewed by a member of the staff at which time you will be briefed on Temporary Lodging Allowance, the availability of quarters and private rentals. At that time, your bedroom requirements will be identified.

Eligibility-

Quarters are assigned based on two factors: grade and family composition. If there are medical conditions that require special considerations, the sponsor must have documentation of the condition available at the time of sign in. Medical documents will be evaluated by the Exceptional Family Member Program specialist from the Army Health Clinic at U.S. Army Garrison Italy. A recommendation will then be made through EFMP and the medical and military chain of command.

EFMP Housing-

EFMP housing is not available because the buildings in which quarters are situated are not owned by the U.S. Army. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain permission from landlords to make conversions such as adding ramps, etc., necessary for Exceptional Family Members.
