Post and Community Services
We’re here for you!
Picerne Military Housing's core mission is Families First. Staying true to that mission, we offer several services to make our residents' lives as easy as possible, from moving assistance to recreational services. We're here for you!
Family Services Program
Picerne Military Housing's Family Services program serves to support the needs of our military families. The family services program manager works with the command and other community resources to facilitate a smooth transition for the family to their new home by providing information and referral services, addressing housing concerns and providing educational resident activities.
Special Housing Accommodations
Picerne Military Housing is focused on delivering excellence to all families. This program is here to assist families with special needs to improve their quality of life by making homes and facilities readily accessible. The Family Services Program Manager will address all requests for exception to policy regarding living accommodations and requests impacting waiving the wait list in a timely manner.
Unaccompanied Families
Picerne Military Housing understands the difficulties military families go through, so we want to be sure our families are taken care of during those tough times whether it be during deployments or unaccompanied tours. We offer resident activities and the opportunity for bona-fide guests to reside in housing to support family during separation.
