MARINE CORPS BACHELOR AND FAMILY HOUSING MANAGEMENT MANUAL

Chapter 1

Family Housing Program Organization, Responsibilities, and

Functions

1. The Military Family Housing Program. Pursuant to Department of Defense (DoD) Manual 4165.63-M (Reference (b)), the policy of the DoD is to:

a. Ensure eligible personnel and their families have access to affordable quality housing facilities and services consistent with grade and family member status and generally reflecting contemporary community living standards.

b. Rely on the private sector as the primary source of housing for accompanied and unaccompanied personnel normally eligible to draw housing allowance.

c. Use a consistent DoD-wide analytical methodology for calculating the need to provide housing.

d. Ensure Installation Commanders have responsibility for their military housing programs with broad authority to decide the best use of resources to provide access to housing for eligible personnel and their families.

2. Purpose. This Order sets forth Marine Corps policy for family housing at all Marine Corps installations.

3. Applicability. This Order provides guidance to ensure uniform management of all Marine Corps family housing programs. In response to local conditions and in coordination with Public

Private Venture (PPV) business agreements, if applicable, Installation Commanders may request authority from Marine Corps

Installations Command (GF-3) to deviate from these provisions.

PPV agreements are contractual agreements between the Department of the Navy (DON)/Marine Corps and a private sector entity operating within the Military Housing Privatization Initiative

(MHPI), 1996 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Section

2801 (Reference (c)).

4. Authority. The Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) derives general authority for family housing facilities and programs from the DoD and the DON Regulations. Specific authority is derived

1-2 Enclosure-2 from law and from delegation made by the Secretaries of Defense and Navy.

5. Policy on Providing Family Housing. For the purpose of supporting the missions assigned to the Marine Corps by higher authority and by law, the Marine Corps provides and maintains, or participates in the provision and maintenance of, adequate housing for Marine Corps military and key and essential civilian personnel.

a. The objective of the family housing program is to ensure service members with accompanying family members are afforded access to safe and adequate housing.

b. Family housing will be programmed for construction to meet requirements validated in a current Housing Requirements Market

Analysis (HRMA), when little or no community housing is available, or when community housing is available, but the location, quality, or cost create a distinct hardship for military families. All reasonable precautions will be taken to preclude overbuilding and to avoid harmful economic impact on local housing markets.

c. The Marine Corps installations within the United States and its territories will rely first on PPV to meet housing needs where communities cannot meet housing requirements (except Marine

Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) Barstow and Marine BH Washington).

6. Basic Allowance for Housing. Basic Allowance for Housing

(BAH) monetary allowance is provided to a service member to offset the cost of housing when family housing is not provided by the

Government.

a. Termination of BAH Entitlement. Per the Joint Travel

Chapter 2

Family Housing Re-designation, Application, Assignment, Occupancy, and Termination

1. Purpose

a. To publish policies and procedures governing Marine

Corps owned or privatized family housing assignment, occupancy, and termination, which are applicable to the Marine Corps without regard to geographic location. The Marine Corps manages the family housing assets on its plant accounts, excluding the privatized housing inventory, per guidelines established by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the

Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV). The principle objective of the

Marine Corps Family Housing Program is to ensure that Marines with family members are suitably housed. The Public Private

Venture (PPV) property management entities manage family housing assets on Marine Corps Contiguous United States (CONUS) installations, with the exception of MCLB Barstow and Marine BH

Washington.

b. All military members accompanied by family members must report to the housing office at their new duty station within 30 days of reporting for duty, and prior to making living arrangements to reside in the civilian community, in order to be qualified for a Government paid move to housing. When issuing or endorsing permanent change of station (PCS) orders of personnel being transferred, the Installation Commander shall include the following statement on the orders:

"Before making any rental agreement, lease agreement, or purchasing a home, you shall report to the local Housing Referral Office which has the responsibility for providing housing referral services at the installation to which you are assigned.”

2. Re-designation by Installation Commanders (Government Family

Housing Only)

a. Policy. Family housing which was constructed for one grade category may be re-designated for occupancy by personnel of other grade categories without prior approval of the

Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC), subject to the following instructions:

2-2

(1) In any re-designation of family housing, efforts shall be made to affect the maximum practicable degree of separation between family housing designated for officers and those designated for enlisted personnel.

(2) When it is necessary to re-designate or reassign family housing, current residents should not be required to vacate such accommodations until their normal tours are completed, except in unusual cases.

(3) Re-designation will remain in effect for a minimum of one year prior to implementing additional changes.

(4) For general and flag officer housing, all family housing funding and reporting requirements apply, regardless of who is living in designated general and flag officer housing, and regardless of dependency status or rank. This includes those that are temporarily occupied by an unaccompanied general or flag officer.

b. Re-designation Procedures

(1) Strength-Asset Imbalance Method. An attempt will be made to ensure an equal opportunity exists for different grade categories to obtain on base housing. This should be done by balancing percentages of onboard grade category married personnel strengths with percentages of housing assets for like grade categories.

(2) Re-designations Data. Enter all re-designation data via the eMH

c. Conversion

(1) This is a permanent change in the use of the facility that will change the category code.

(2) All conversions to or from family housing must be approved by the Assistant Deputy Commandant, Installations and

Logistics (Facilities).

(3) Once converted to a use other than family housing, as indicated by assigning a new category code in the Naval

Facilities Assets Database, the costs of maintenance and

2-3 operation will be charged to the account normally financing that category of facility.

(4) All conversions will be reported on the next regular submission of the Family Housing Inventory and

Occupancy Report.

d. Diversion

(1) This is a temporary change in the use of the facility that will not change its category code.

(2) Facilities constructed as family housing units, or converted to that use, shall not be diverted to uses other than family housing without approval by Assistant Deputy Commandant, Installations and Logistics (Facilities).

(3) A family housing unit diverted for use as unaccompanied housing or housing for unmarried personnel continues to be a family housing asset and must be funded with the family housing appropriation. Unless a family housing unit is permanently removed from the family housing property records, it is inappropriate to use any funding other than family housing.

(4) All diversions will be reported on the next regular submission of the Family Housing Inventory and Occupancy Report.

3. Application for Assignment to Housing. The Department of

Defense Form 1746 (DD 1746), Application for Assignment to

Housing, will be used for application and assignment to

Government housing and referral to privatized family housing.

The DD Form 1746 application and supporting documentation shall be collected and managed per references (bs) and (bt).

Submission of the DD Form 1746 with a copy of orders by the applicant(s) for family housing will replace the requirement for personnel to physically report to the housing office to have their names placed on the appropriate waiting list. However, the applicant(s) must physically report to the housing office within the first 30 days after arrival at the installation before their name will be permitted to advance into the freeze zone

(definition in Appendix A).

4. Assignment to Housing

a. All eligible personnel will be afforded an equal opportunity for family housing designated for their applicable

2-4 grade category and bedroom requirement. Assignment will be made on a nondiscriminatory basis without regard to race, color, sex, religion, gender, or national origin, per SECDEF Memo (Reference

(f)).

b. No family shall be discriminated against in the assignment of family housing because of special health or physical disability requirements.

c. Military members have no legal or inherent entitlement to family housing and it is not mandatory by law that family housing be provided. However, where the local communities cannot support the military housing requirements, the Marine Corps will pursue the acquisition of family housing.

d. Installation Commanders are given broad authority to plan, program, and determine the best use of resources so that all military members compete on an equitable basis for family housing.

5. Detaching Installation. Upon issuing PCS orders for a member of the command eligible for housing, the detaching commanding officer shall:

a. Require the individual to inform the appropriate housing office at least 30 days prior to the member’s planned date to terminate family housing. At the same time, the individual should complete DD Form 1746 to make application for family housing at any installation to which assigned.

b. Counsel military member that the use of DD Form 1746 does not preclude the requirement to report to the housing office at the new duty station within the first 30 days after arrival at the installation.

6. Joining Installation

a. The housing office will utilize the date of receipt of the DD Form 1746, with all qualifying documents, and PCS orders as the control date. A control date will not be established without receipt of these documents. If the application, along with all qualifying documents, and PCS orders are received separately, the control date will be established upon the receipt of the latest document. However, the applicant must physically report to the housing office with a verified endorsement from the previous command before advancing to the freeze zone (Freeze zone is the top 10% or top three applicants, whichever is greater for

2-5 each waitlist).

a. Control Date. The housing office will utilize the date of receipt of the Housing Application (DD Form 1746), with all qualifying documents, and PCS orders or equivalent (includes web orders) as the control date for the housing waiting list. A control date will not be established without receipt of these documents. If the application, along with all qualifying documents, and PCS orders are received separately, the control date will be established upon the receipt of the latest document and then the validated application shall be forwarded to the privatized partner.
