QUESTIONS

What housing allowances am I eligible?

Basic Allowance for Housing is based on assigned location, rank, and dependent status.  For additional information, please contact your local Financial Management Office.

Where will my children go to school?

The school district boundaries for Goodfellow Family Housing include Glenmore Elementary, Glenn Middle School, and Central High School.  Transfers are commonly accepted within SAISD.

What is housing privatization and how does it affect me?

Housing Privatization (HP) is a Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to continue providing quality housing for Airmen and their families. HP shifts the operations and maintenance responsibility of family housing in the continental U.S. and Alaska to the private sector whose expertise it is to build and manage housing, allowing Airmen to focus on the mission.

With this partnership, the Air Force and its private partners can provide new and/or renovated homes with modern amenities for Airmen and their families in communities where they choose to live. Rent under privatized housing is paid by allotment of your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). Unlike housing in the local community, rent for a privatized home may not exceed the "with dependent" BAH rate designated for your rank.

For more information about privatized housing, contact the local Military Housing Office.

How do I pay rent in privatized housing?

If you are here for a minimum of 4 months, you may be able to sign a tenant lease agreement; you will be able to terminate the lease with your PCS orders.  You pay rent either in person each month or via an allotment that comes directly out of your pay, using the MAC allotment system.

Who is eligible to live in privatized housing?

Target tenants are active duty military and their families assigned to the installation.  If occupancy falls below expected levels, housing will open up to a priority placement list of Other Eligible Tenants to include unaccompanied active duty military, Guard/Reserve, Federal Civil Service Employees, Retired Military and Fed Service, DoD contractors and lastly the general public.
