Unaccompanied Housing for Single Sailors

TEST SAMPLE

Navy Housing is dedicated to providing suitable, affordable and safe living quarters for single or unaccompanied Sailors who live in Unaccompanied Housing (UH). CNIC’s mission is to “…deliver shore-based products and services to sustain the fleet, enable the fighter and support the family…” The UH program provides housing and related services in support of Navy’s mission and readiness.

The Navy Housing authority is responsible for barracks and dormitory housing operations and the facilities for unaccompanied personnel. The Installation commanding officer is the housing authority at the installation and is responsible in applying housing standards and providing equitable availability of housing to all eligible personnel. Depending on the location and mission of the installation, UH could include quarters for permanent party single Service members, unaccompanied Service members, students, and authorized civilians who are assigned to the installation or units supported by the installation both afloat or ashore. UH is further separated between permanent party barracks, mission essential barracks (to include austere barracks), and student dormitories. UH is classified as government-owned or leased, and public-private venture housing (UH-PPV).

The diversified UH funding sources require multiple commands and organizations across every echelon of the Navy’s shore establishment to effectively manage the UH program. The UH manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of all UH facilities and operations. Installation partners support the UH program by providing required services and functions not funded by the quarters operation account of UH. UH works closely with Public Works Department (PWD), Preventive Medical Unit (PMU), Fire and Emergency Services (F&ES), Security and Force Protection, Navy Housing Service Centers (HSC) and other installation partners.

Government Housing

Government Housing

The majority of permanent party barracks are government owned/controlled and located on-base. The Navy Unaccompanied Housing (UH) office is responsible for determining eligibility, processing applications, and making assignments. This office also manages Housing operations, including resident relations, and maintenance and repair coordination.

Permanent Party Assignment

Navy programs barracks to house all single, permanent party Sailors in pay grades E1–E3, E4 with less than four years of service (E4<4), and based upon availability, E4s with more than four years of service, as possible. Navy programs to house permanent party E1–E3s in shared rooms and E4s in private rooms; no more than two sharing a bath. Homeport locations with a shortage of housing may assign E1-E3, E4<4 in shared rooms.

Students Assignment

Navy UH houses students in dormitories. Students are typically in shared rooms. Dormitories vary depending on the type of training, and can vary from open bay rooms for basic training to private rooms with amenities such as bathrooms and kitchens.
