BROOKS CITY-BASE: There are an additional
164 housing units that are available to any military family with orders to the
San Antonio area.
WAITING LISTS: The length of a wait is
determined by a number of variables. There is a combined waiting list
for both military housing and privatized housing.
APPLICATION
PROCEDURES: You may submit an advance housing application at your
present duty station by completing DD Form 1746 and taking it, along with 2
copies of your orders, to your current housing office. The staff will
in turn pass it on to the Lackland AFB Housing Office. Please keep
one copy of the application for your records.
When you arrive at
Lackland, stop at the housing office to ensure that your application is on
file. If not, you may complete a DD 1746 at that
time. Both military and privatized housing slots are filled from the
base housing list. Notify the housing office of changes to your phone
number or address. If they cannot reach you when a space becomes
available, they will go to the next applicant on the list.
Because of the
variety of housing available, it is very difficult to predict an accurate
waiting time for a unit.
SINGLE MEMBERS, PAY GRADES E1-E3: DO
NOT plan to live off base if you are single. Reservations are not
accepted for dormitory rooms. Instead, members check-in upon arrival
for their room assignment with the Central Dormitory Manager's Office (CDMO)
from 7:00am - 7:00pm M - F in Bldg 1205, Room 120, telephone
210-671-5951. Dormitory rooms are assigned on a first-come,
first-served basis, taking unit integrity into account to the maximum extent
possible. The CDMO provides procedures, information on the dining
facilities, requests for dormitory maintenance, etc. Lackland has 17
permanent party dormitories on Lackland, Lackland Training Annex, and the Kelly
Annex.
Dormitory rooms are arranged as suites with two rooms sharing a
bathroom. Older dorm rooms average 144 square feet, while the newer
dorm rooms average 118 square feet. Dorm residents are not allowed to
cook in the older dormitories. TVs and cable service are not
provided, but hookups are available if the resident wants to arrange for
it. Rooms are furnished with beds, 3-5 drawer dressers, and either
wall lockers or built-in closets.
The only pets authorized for dorm rooms
are fish in tanks that do not exceed a 30 gallon capacity.
If you are an
E-3 or E-4 and if the dormitories are filled, there is a possibility that you
may need to live off base. You must get approval from your first
sergeant and the dormitory manager. This includes showing
that you are financially able to maintain an off-base living
unit. You will then be approved for your Basic Allowance for Housing
(BAH.) Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
