Exceptional Family Member (EFM) Housing
The Exceptional Family Member Program is a mandatory program to support families with special needs. Various physical, emotional, developmental, and educational special needs may require enrollment. For more information, contact NRSW Fleet & Family Support Center. There are six categories of EFM identifying the level of special care required. Family members designated as Categories 4 and 5 are severely disabled and permanency in living arrangements is desirable. Personnel being assigned under EFM Category 4 or 5 priority status are not permitted to choose a neighborhood. EFM assignments are made at the discretion of the NRSW Family Housing Welcome Center. Once an EFM family has been assigned to MFH, they are not automatically eligible for priority relocation when they have a change in status, such as family composition or pay grade. Requests for priority relocation should be submitted in writing via the service member's command to the appropriate housing office. More details include:
