Life around your next station

Moving & living.

Start with your sponsor and the installation’s official newcomer resources. Confirm the arrangements that apply to your household before you travel.

Find the right reporting point

Use the gaining organization or hiring office for onboarding and authorized building access. The directory identifies the federal center at 74 Washington Avenue North.

Reporting resources

Plan housing before committing

Ask housing or the gaining office which referrals fit the assignment. Civilian employment and contractor access do not guarantee a military home.

Housing resources

Arrange temporary accommodation

Confirm authorized community accommodation with the gaining office; a downtown federal assignment does not establish military lodging eligibility.

Temporary-housing resources

Prepare the school transfer

Use the intended home address and school liaison to confirm the receiving district, eligibility and enrollment records.

School resources

Arrange child care

Confirm child-care eligibility, registration and actual placement through current resources. A request does not reserve a space.

Child-care resources

Confirm the care destination

Confirm duty-status eligibility and the enrolled provider. A federal workplace or occupational service is not automatically a family medical clinic.

Medical resources

Connect with household support

Ask readiness resources about relocation, deployment and household referrals appropriate to the member’s component and duty status.

Family-readiness resources

Official resources.
