Housing
Quality housing for Soldiers and their Families contributes to Army readiness. Army leaders are committed to improving housing conditions.
Overview
- The army has approximately 100,000 houses in our inventory. These are on installations around the United States and the world.
-
90% of our houses are managed through one of these privatized housing partners:
- Corvalis
- Balfour Beatty
- Lend-Lease
- Approximately 65% of Army families live off the installation in civilian communities.
Empower Yourself
- Before you sign a lease, visit or contact the Housing Service Office at your Gaining Installation.
- Visit YOUR INSTALLATION webpages (or the one closest to you) for important NEWCOMER information.
- Download the MY ARMY POST APP and find your installation.
- Contact Relocation Readiness at your outgoing installation or the gaining installation. Either end can connect you to important resources as you figure out where to live.
