Unaccompanied Housing
At Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station (JBC-WS) we strive to create an inclusive environment that cultivates the development and training of service members. Joint Base Charleston recognizes that the management of Unaccompanied Housing (UH) facilities is critical to a service member's development process. UH is a personal residence and we strive to provide a modern, functional, well maintained and comfortable home, as well as promote pride, professionalism and personal dignity.
UH is provided for unaccompanied service members in the ranks of E-1 to E-3. Each service member is provided a private sleeping room, furnishings, bed linens and supplies required for comfortable living. (Room arrangements may vary depending on location) Unaccompanied members in the rank of E-4 and above may move into housing in the local community. Please refer to the Housing in the Local Community section for information and assistance on securing housing.
The permanent party UH campus at JBC-WS consists of 15 buildings, 200 spaces. The furnished units include fully equipped kitchens, washers, and dryers. Amenities include a lounge with refreshment area, a basketball court, a volley ball court, grills, and picnic area with gazebos. The Joint Base Charleston swimming pool, golf course, tennis courts, outdoor recreation center, commissary and Navy Exchange are conveniently located near the UH community.
Specific restrictions at Joint Base Charleston are identified in the UH Resident Brochure. The only pets permitted are non-flesh eating fish and turtles; in 20 gallon or less aquariums. Weapons and overnight guests are not permitted.

Base Specific Policy
During your orientation, a UH Management Office representative will inform you of all Joint Base Charleston and base-specific policies. Smoking policy, pet restrictions, etc. are specified in the UH Resident Brochure.
UH Management Office Staff
The UH Management Office is staffed with professionals that can assist with all of your housing needs. The Staff is comprised of non-commissioned officers (NCO), Senior NCOs and civilian employees, all of whom are highly motivated personnel dedicated to ensuring residents receive quality service. Dorm Managers will provide you guidance and advice on UH life.
Assignment Procedures
As soon as you are notified of your assignment, contact your gaining unit and request to be assigned a sponsor. Your sponsor will be another military member assigned to your unit and will assist with your move. The sponsor or gaining unit must then contact the UH Management Office to notify them of your impending arrival date and work to secure you a dormitory room.
Planning Your Move
Prior to travel, arrange to meet your sponsor or someone from your unit upon arrival at the gaining installation. If you arrive on a business day during normal duty hours, have your sponsor escort you to the UH Management Office. A Dorm Manager will take you through the process of checking you into your room, performing a move-in inspection, and checking inventory of the allotted furnishings and supplies.
If you arrive on the weekend or after normal duty hours, have your sponsor contact the after-hours duty personnel at (843) 296-5039 to make arrangements for a hospitality room until you can meet with a Dorm Manager. If you arrive outside of normal duty hours, it is a mandatory requirement to report to the UH Management Office the next duty day for in-processing.
Resident Responsibilities
You will be expected to keep your room and any shared living space clean and tidy. Cleaning supplies and equipment will be provided to you free of charge. You will also be accountable for your room and the furnishings provided. Residents may be held liable for any damages beyond normal fair wear and tear. See a UH Management Office representative if you have any questions about your resident responsibilities.
Inspection Program
The Installation Commander establishes a base-wide UH inspection program focused on health and safety. Dorm Managers implement the inspection program and visit rooms to ensure that all residents comply with installation standards.
Dormitory Councils
The Dormitory Council is a forum by which residents of an individual dormitory or group of dormitories address concerns about their living environment with a panel of their peers. The purpose of the council is to establish standards for all residents, present solutions for problem areas, establish positive recreational activities and identify facility and furnishing improvements. Participation at your location is a chance to be involved in shaping your living environment and provides an opportunity for personal growth and development in the areas of leadership and personal relationships. Ask a UH Management Office representative about how you can get involved.
Termination
It is mandatory for unaccompanied service members in the ranks of E-1 to E-3 to reside in UH. All E-4 and above are authorized to move out of UH and into local community housing. Contact the UH Management Office for procedures you must follow to clear your room. In certain circumstances, such as to make space available for more junior members, you may be authorized to move out of UH before reaching E-4. The most senior members are released first. Your UH Management Office representative will advise residents when early release is necessary.
Space Available Rooms
When there is an excess of dormitory rooms, personnel in the ranks of E-4 and above may be eligible to reside in UH on a space available basis. Contact the UH Management Office to inquire about availability.
