Privatized Housing

The local HSC processes applications and refers personnel to the PPV property management company.  The property management company assigns personnel to PPV housing and should be contacted for maintenance and resident matters.  However, the HSC is your advocate, and you should contact them if you are not satisfied.  For more information about PPV housing, including eligibility requirements, visit the CNIC Headquarters PPV page. 

 

Renters’ insurance is strongly encouraged to protect your belongings and financial responsibility should accidents happen in your home.
 
The Housing Early Assistance Tool (HEAT) enables Service Members and their families to apply for PPV family housing prior to departure from their current command, before or after receiving permanent change of station orders.  Visit the Navy Housing Headquarters’ HEAT page to find out more. 
 
Additionally, you can obtain application forms on the above resources tab, at your nearest HSC, or you can contact the HSC to have one mailed or emailed to you.
 
NSF Indian Head has partnered with Liberty Military Housing to offer military families outstanding housing choices.  Contact the HSC to get the most current projection of housing availability and wait list information.
 
For additional contact information, floor plans, pet policies, full resident guidelines and other neighborhood specific information regarding PPV housing, visit the Liberty Military Housing website.
