Housing Hype: Sponsors – Housing Office In-Processing Update

Courtesy of the Housing Office.

If you’re sponsoring a new arrival who is assigned to the Kaiserslautern Military Community, it is required that housing-eligible service members must in-process within two working days of arrival with the KMC Housing Office.

Sponsors should also be prepared to assist new arrivals with visiting rental homes, in-process with various departments, and completing all in-process requirements.

Active-duty accompanied service members are eligible to apply for on-base family housing upon reporting in.  After receipt and verification of all associated documents (contact Housing Office for details), the service members will be offered Military Family Housing based on rank and the number of dependents as it becomes available.

Eligible unaccompanied personnel, and those on the MFH waitlist who plan to live in the local economy, are required to secure an available, housing-inspected, move-in-ready home that can be occupied within 30 days of their arrival date.

As always, the KMC Housing Office works to ensure a smooth and non-stressful approach to the in-processing experience during personnel moves.  So, here is a short list of the required steps/documents to receive assistance from the KMC Housing Office.
