FAMILY HOUSING
On May 1, 2002, the Fort Meade Family Housing Mission was privatized and transferred to Meade Communities, LLC. Many new and exciting changes are now in store for the military families of Fort Meade. These changes include local neighborhood offices, more rapid responses to maintenance responses, and lawn care, just to name a few.
The Picerne Family Housing Offices will assist you in securing housing on or off post. Fort George G. Meade has a total of 2,862 sets of quarters, of which 488 are allocated to officers and 2,374 to enlisted personnel. These quarters are located in six major housing areas on post.
