A new official DOD website, HOMES.mil was launched Dec. 15 to provide service members, their families and DOD Civilians access to non-discriminatory rental listings.

The website, www.HOMES.mil , will provide public access to landlords, owners and property managers for use in marketing rental properties to service members, families, and DOD civilians who are seeking housing at their assigned location. It features search and display options as well as Google maps, and will allow users to save listings, view photos, and research housing areas. Members will be required to register in order to access listing addresses and landlord contact information. 

The Air Force remains fully committed to providing members access to safe, affordable, adequate and non-discriminatory housing and will continue to provide referral and relocation services to service members, their families and DOD civilians through electronic, telephone and face-to-face customer interaction. Installation Housing offices will manage available rental listings using eMH Referral component which interfaces with HOMES.mil and streamlines housing office support actions by allowing housing office professionals to view or add amenities, cities, points of contacts and inspection updates. Members and their families should contact or visit the military housing office if they have questions or require assistance with rental listings or with using HOMES.mil website.

The AF Housing public website, www.housing.af.mil , is still available and provides a venue for members to obtain specific installation information on family, unaccompanied and privatized housing. Please visit this site for contact details for AF installation housing offices.
