IBefore renting, leasing or purchasing a home off-post you must, per AR 420-1, visit /contact the Housing Service Office (HSO).  The overall goal of the Housing Services Office is to assist Soldiers and their families who wish to reside off-post by providing comprehensive local housing information/listings and support services.  They also provide local community information on school districts and county planning and zoning/housing regulations.   Your HSO Office can help you choose:  Temporary lodging, a permanent home – rental or purchase, whether to buy a home and how to go about it, and money and time saving ideas for your move.   The HSO staff can help you avoid scams, unreliable realtors and unsuitable rentals.  They can also assist when you find yourself dealing with any of these situations/issues.

The HSO is located in Building 1383 Vine Grove-Chaffee Road or you may contact them at 502-624-3548/5824, fax 502-624-4089. Also please visit www.AHRN.com, the Army Housing Referral Network website that provides local listing of homes for sale, rent or lease.  The site indicates which properties have been approved by HSO staff.  These properties have been placed on the website by realtors, property managers, and individuals.
