Hampton Roads is designated as a Critical Housing
Area. Check with your local Housing Office, located in
contacts/links, to learn how this affects your Basic Allowance for Housing
(BAH).
You may encounter extended stays (1-2 weeks) at a motel or Navy
Lodge in your search for housing. Leases should have a military
clause. Virginia does have a statutory military clause, which has
some strict notice requirements. You are therefore strongly
encouraged to make sure that your lease has such a
clause. Terminating leases early can be a very complicated area to
navigate. For further information and questions, please contact your
local legal assistance provider for help.
Contact the Housing Welcome
Center at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown for a listing of apartments in the
area. Also be sure to ask the Housing Welcome Center for information
pertaining to the Rental Partnership Program (RPP) or, call Fleet and Family
Support Center Newport News or Yorktown to receive a Welcome Aboard Package,
which includes rental information. Refer to contacts/links and
Getting Started for additional guidance on renting and buying.
