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, among many others.

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 the 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.

In addition, volunteer Realtors from the Greater Tampa Area Realtors Association are available in the Housing Office on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 0900 to 1200. The volunteers can assist you with rental property searches and offer community housing information and assistance free of charge.

Rental Partnership Program
At MacDill AFB, the HMO supports the Rental Partnership Program to help military members obtain adequate housing in the community. The HMO and local landlords enter into agreements to offer service members special rental benefits above what other tenants receive. Typical benefits might include a waiver of security deposits, no credit checks or application fees, a discount on market rental rates and immediate access to housing. Contact the HMO for more information about this program.

Community Housing Units
Community housing in the MacDill AFB area is abundant, varied, and generally, affordable. Rental housing ranges from small apartments to large multi-story homes. Many new and pre-owned homes are available for sale for an average cost of $80,000 - $300,000.

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

Personal Property Insurance
You need to obtain legal liability and personal property insurance for your possessions and should choose the options and amounts that best fit your needs and lifestyle. Research all your options so you have the best coverage for your possessions. Costs will vary depending on how much coverage you choose. Before purchasing your insurance, consult the HMO for more information about coverage.

School Information
For families, we understand that where your children attend school plays a large factor in the decision of where to live. Parents of school-age children are encouraged to research schools prior to signing a lease for housing.

For your convenience, all community housing listings in the Automated Housing Referral Network (AHRN.com) include a link to schools in the area surrounding the listed house.
