There are 50 family housing units available for military personnel.  We have some of best housing that you will see in the Navy. We will assist you to make your stay in government quarters a pleasant one. We will continually strive to ensure you receive the highest quality service. All furniture and appliances are provided in the housing units and may not be removed to make room for occupant's furniture. Family Housing is unable to store your excess furniture. 

  • Application

Applicants for Government quarters will submit an Application and Assignment to Military Family Housing, DD Form 1746, along with a copy of their orders to the housing organization at the Field Activity where they are seeking housing. Application forms and orders may be submitted by mail, in person by the sponsor, or by a member of the sponsor's immediate family. Application may be submitted at any time following the receipt of homeport or permanent change of station (PCS) orders. The housing organization, upon receipt of a member's application, will immediately provide the member with a Status of Housing Availability, (DD Form 1747), to inform them of the conditions of assignment to, or the availability of, family housing.

Members who receive authorization from a Chain of Commander to reside off base will be authorized the full weight allowance listed in the JTR.

  • HEAT(Housing Early Assistance Tool)

Navy Housing has developed HEAT to assist service members (SVM) and their families in applying for housing Navywide. HEAT allows SVMs and their families to apply for housing at one or more Navy installations online before or after they receive their Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders. HEAT creates an easy user experience. Spouses can use the application as well, needing only minimal information about their SVM.

Off-Base Housing

Korean housing has greatly improved in the quality and quantity area, but it is still difficult to completely meet the U.S. Standard such as size, electric voltage, garage, etc. 

Service members or DoD Civilians who want to reside in off-base units are highly recommended going through the Housing Service Center in order to get better service, prevent complication such as financial dispute or eviction that may occur and affect prompt move-in. Landlord or realtor must submit Property Ownership document for housing review and verification. All off-base housing units must be certified as adequate by housing representative. Housing is the approval authority on entitlements. Additionally, you can not change off-base units without prior inspection and certification of the unit. For service members in Chinhae and Busan, Lease, relocation, additional personnel add or other changes affecting your entitlements will only be accomplished by the Housing Service Center.
