tabGovernment Housing 
For many families, living in government housing provides easy access to community services and amenities such as schools, youth programs, Commissary/Exchange, and food services. This is especially true in oversea locations where you will find yourself dependent on the support facilities and services on the installation much more than in the U.S. Living in government housing provides a safe and secure place to reside and provides a mentoring and supportive environment for families.

Government housing is provided to military members who meet the following criteria:
- Military members accompanied by authorized dependents
- Military-Married-to-Military couples assigned to same or adjacent base and residing jointly
- Key and Essential Personnel
- Eligible Civilians (space available)

On 4 Oct 2012, 374 AW/CC rescinded YAB "On-Base First Policy" and superseded with "Housing Assignment Procedures". Compliance with these procedures is mandatory in order to maximize use of existing and available housing inventory while meeting specific AF goals and requirements. For more details, please see the 'Housing Assignment Procedures" uploaded under Featured Documents.

Contact the Yokota Housing Management Office (HMO) if you have questions about the housing eligibility at Yokota.

Yokota AB Housing
Government housing consists of garden and tower units in four locations:
- East Area
- West Area
- North Area
- South Area

Accompanied personnel with a permanent change of station (PCS) to Yokota AB are authorized full JFTR weight allowance. Because government quarters are small, accompanied personnel are encouraged to NOT ship their full JFTR weight allowance; instead we recommend that you use your non-temporary storage (NTS) entitlement at the departing location. If you ship your full JFTR weight allowance, be aware that Yokota AB does not have storage facilities to accommodate excess household items, and local rental storage is very limited. Further, you are not entitled to ship items back to the continental U.S. (CONUS) for non-temporary storage (NTS).

Pet Policy in Government Family Housing
Aggressive or potentially aggressive dog breeds are not allowed on the installation. For complete information, see the Air Force Pet Policy.

Yokota Specific Pet Restriction
- Garden Units: Authorized up to two dogs and/or cats--no more than two, total
- Designated Towers, first two floors: Authorized up to two dogs and/or cats--no more than two, total

Contact an HMO counselor in advance to check the availability of a pet friendly tower unit before shipping dogs and cats. We cannot guarantee that a pet friendly unit will be available when you arrive. If you elect to bring your pet and wait for pet friendly unit, your TLA entitlement will be terminated.

Applying for Government Housing
Submit an advance application for assignment (DD Form 1746) through the HMO at your losing installation and include 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 may also be submitted upon arrival during your first visit to the HMO. The HMO staff will assist you in completing 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 your previous installation. If you process your application after 30 days, the application date will be the date of the walk-in. Make sure your application identifies and includes supporting documentation for an impending promotion or gain of dependents so we can place you on the appropriate waiting list.

Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA)
TLA will be paid in accordance with the Joint Federal Regulation (JFTR) and AFI 32-6001. Members receiving TLA are required to accept available adequate housing or forfeit their TLA.. Members receiving TLA may exercise housing unit and location preference, but TLA authorization will stop on the scheduled move-in date which adequate/available housing was offered, accepted or refused.
