Privatized Housing Unaccompanied Housing Housing in the Local Community

Housing in the Local Community
The Housing Management Office (HMO) provides all DoD personnel with personalized services to assist in locating suitable housing in the local community. Although moving is sometimes stressful, it can also be an exciting opportunity to live off base and experience a new location. The HMO will assist you every step of the way to help you find your new home in the local community.

Housing Services
Contact the HMO as soon as you know you are moving. The government housing team will provide you the latest information on the local housing situation and offer complete referral services and relocation assistance to make sure you find a quality place to live.

Support services range from helping members understand their lease agreements and the necessity for a military release clause to assisting in resident and landlord dispute resolution, to many other services. Contact the HMO for information about off limits areas and establishments.

The HMO partners with landlords, realtors and property managers to make sure you receive the most current information about the local housing market. The HMO also monitors housing units offered for rent to the military community, which are listed in the Automated Housing Referral Network (AHRN), a joint service, DoD-sponsored website that offers a 24/7/365 single source of available housing to incoming military personnel and their families.

Go to AHRN.com and create a personal account to view available housing and get a feel for the size, style and type of housing around your new installation. The listings provide contact information for the landlord or property manager so you can connect with them to discuss available units. Contact the HMO prior to making any firm commitments.

Community Housing
Housing is plentiful and varied. Many people choose to rent before buying a home. It is an easy way to learn more about the community and select a neighborhood or area of town in which to live while choosing a home to buy. AHRN.com provides the most current rental information.

The average home sells for $200-$300K. There are so many different neighborhoods and styles of homes to choose from that house hunting can be a true adventure.

For information about the housing allowances that financially support your move, see Referral and Relocation Assistance.

Personal Property Insurance
It is highly recommended that you obtain legal liability and personal property insurance for your possessions. Rates are competitive and we encourage you to shop around for the options and amounts that best fit your needs and lifestyle.
