There is no Coast Guard owned housing in the area, so most CG personnel stationed in Hampton Roads draw BAH and live on the economy.

There is no mandatory assignment to government housing in the Hampton Roads area for members accompanied by their dependents. Our Servicing Personnel Offices require a written release from housing before drawing BAH and living on the economy. To acquire a release, you are required to submit an application for assignment to military housing, form DD-1746, along with a copy of your orders to Christopher Evans or Brenda Gentry.

There are Unaccompanied Personnel Housing (UPH) barracks at Base Portsmouth, (757) 483-8538 and CG Station Little Creek (757) 464-9372, for single personnel at co-located units. To the greatest extent possible UPH must be fully utilized, with highest priority given to single members in pay grade E3 and below assigned to sea duty not otherwise allowed payment of BAH. All single members E5 and below may be subject to mandatory assignment to the UPH to ensure maximum utilization, but every effort is made to release all members authorized payment of BAH.

Navy Housing has developed HEAT to assist service members and their families in applying for housing Navy-wide. HEAT allows service members and their families to get the housing application process started at one or more Navy installations online before or after they receive their Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders. HEAT is available to any service members at all Navy installations. Spouses can use the application as well, needing only minimal information about their service members. http://www.cnic.navy.mil/HEAT
