Family Housing is privatized and operated by Balfour Beatty Community. Soldiers must apply for housing within 30 days of arrival. If housing is not available, an active waiting list by grade and number of bedrooms will be established. Waiting list will be posted at the Community Management Office as well as on the website. Waiting list size and time varies by season and number of incoming and outgoing Soldiers. The list will be updated weekly. There is no priority placement for Families with exceptional Family Members. Housing assignments will be determined by the amount of dependents and rank of service member. The rent allotment will equal the Soldiers BAH entitlement for their rank.

Single Service Member Housing
Single and unaccompanied Soldiers (E1 to E4) will be assigned a room in the post barracks during inprocessing. Rooms will be shared with one other Soldier. In some instances, E4s are allowed to live off-post with special permission. Ask your chain of command if this is an option.
Single and unaccompanied NCOs (E5 and above) may live on or off-post. Be sure to check with your chain of command as some units require their NCOs to live on-post. You will be required to live off-post when the amount of E1 to E4 has exceeded their occupancy capacity. Housing and subsistence allowances are authorized should this occur. You will be expected to have made off-post living arrangements by the time you finish initial in-processing and report to your unit.
