About the housing office

The Kaiserslautern Military Community Housing Management Office is primed to support all military members and DOD civilian employees in securing a home on base (military only) or on the local economy. Upon arriving to the KMC area, you must view the mandatory housing briefing for your status. The brief covers eligibility for Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA), counseling and guidance prior to signing a written lease or rental/sales contract for housing.  It is advised to wait until you arrive to secure housing in order to tour available units. 

Initial Housing Briefing

All DOD eligible civilians and military members are required to complete the housing briefing within your first 48 hours of arriving on station. Military housing briefing please click here. DOD eligible civilians please click here. Reference the briefing documents below and follow along with the video relative to your status. Additionally, during correspondence with the KMC Housing Office you'll be required to provide documents which are also listed below. Once complete, email all documents to KMCHousing@us.af.mil. Please allow for 3-5 duty days between correspondences.
