Applying for Government Housing
If you desire to live in government housing, please submit an advance application for assignment (DD Form 1746) and AF Form 4422, through the HMO at your losing installation with a complete copy of your PCS orders. The effective date of the application is the date you depart your prior installation (including members with TDY enroute) or the date ordered to active duty.

Applications can also be submitted upon arrival during your first visit to the HMO. HMO staff will be able to assist in the completion of the application and will review PCS orders and housing options with you. For walk-in applications, as long as you apply for government housing within 30 days of arrival, you will be placed on the waiting list effective the date you departed from your previous installation. After 30 days, the application date will be the date of the walk-in.

Please be sure your application identifies and includes supporting documentation for an impending promotion or gain of dependents so that you can be placed on the appropriate waiting list.

Personal Property Insurance
You need to obtain legal liability and personal property insurance for your possessions and should choose the options and amounts that best fit your needs and lifestyle.

We recommend all members in government housing have "renter's insurance." Additionally, any member that wishes to have an above ground swimming pool is required to have additional renters' property insurance prior to erecting the pool. Before purchasing your insurance, please consult the HMO for more information about coverage.

School Information
For families, we understand that when considering your housing options, where your children attend school plays a large factor in that choice. For your convenience, all community housing listings in the Automated Housing Referral Network site (AHRN.com) include a link to schools in the area surrounding the listed house.

Cannon AFB and Chavez Manor/West Elementary students attend Ranchvale Elementary. All Cannon AFB 9th grade students attend the CHS Freshman Campus. Students in the grades 10-12 attend the Clovis High School. Portales elementary schools are divided into grades up to 6th grade, then Portales Junior High and Portales High School.

Housing Privatization
At Cannon AFB, the Air Force is working to privatize the military family housing and the potential exists for this to occur during your tenure in government housing. Housing Privatization (HP) is a Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to continue providing quality housing for Airmen and their families. HP shifts the operations and maintenance responsibility of family housing to the private sector whose expertise it is to build and manage housing, allowing Airmen to focus on the mission.

With this partnership, the Air Force and its private partners can provide new and/or renovated homes with modern amenities for Airmen and their families in communities where they choose to live. Some amenities may include community centers, playgrounds and walking trails.

All residents in government housing will have the option of signing a lease with the private company. Rent under privatized housing is paid by allotment of your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). Unlike housing in the local community, rent for a privatized home may not exceed the "with dependent" BAH rate designated for your rank. For more information about privatized housing, contact the HMO at (575) 784-2983 or DSN 681-2983.
