At Cavalier AFS, we offer on base government housing. Our inventory consists of 6 duplexes and 2 Single-Family units. Housing amenities include electricity, water, HVAC and gas.
Applying for Government Housing
If you desire to live in government housing, please submit an advance application for assignment (DD Form 1746) through the HMO at your losing installation with a complete copy of your PCS orders. The effective date of the application is the date you depart your prior installation (including members with TDY enroute) or the date ordered to active duty.
Applications can also be submitted upon arrival during your first visit to the HMO. HMO staff will be able to assist in the completion of the application and will review PCS orders and housing options with you. For walk-in applications, as long as you apply for government housing within 30 days of arrival, you will be placed on the waiting list effective the date you departed from your previous installation. After 30 days, the application date will be the date of the walk-in.
Please be sure your application identifies and includes supporting documentation for an impending promotion or gain of dependents so that you can be placed on the appropriate waiting list.

School Information
Housing residents can send their children to either Cavalier City Schools or Walhalla City Schools. Both schools are approximately 15 miles from the base and have year round open enrollment. Buses run for each school to and from base on a daily schedule and there is a sheltered bus stop for the kids during inclement weather.
Housing Privatization
At Cavalier AFS, the Air Force is working to privatize the military family housing and the potential exists for this to occur during your tenure in government housing.
Housing Privatization (HP) is a Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to continue providing quality housing for Airmen and their families. HP shifts the operations and maintenance responsibility of family housing to the private sector whose expertise it is to build and manage housing, allowing Airmen to focus on the mission.
With this partnership, the Air Force and its private partners can provide new and/or renovated homes with modern amenities for Airmen and their families in communities where they choose to live. Some amenities may include community centers, playgrounds and walking trails.
All residents in government housing will have the option of signing a lease with the private company. Rent under privatized housing is paid by allotment of your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). Unlike housing in the local community, rent for a privatized home may not exceed the "with dependent" BAH rate designated for your rank.
For more information about privatized housing, contact the HMO at DSN: 330-3688 |
