Family Housing and Community Inventory

Housing Market Area is projected to remain the same

Personnel at NAS Fort Worth JRB will continue to increase

Base Housing has a deficit and cannot support the increase of incoming personnel

Partnership with the community is vital to provide the housing needs of our relocating service members and their families

Housing Partnerships

Existing:

Rental Partnership Program (RPP)

• Connect military renters with available housing stock

• Provide property referrals and landlord/tenant mediation

• Automatically pay rent check each month

• Rental agreement is 5% off market value

Available:

Pre-Construction Agreements

• Allows base to enter into agreements with developers for future housing stock that may meet military needs

• Intended to provide risk mitigation

Preferred within close proximity to the installation

Retail
