RESIDENT ADVOCATE

Privatized Housing Resident Advocates (RA) empower military residents to identify and resolve privatized housing challenges across Air Force installations. The Resident Advocate reports directly to the Installation Commander, advocates for housing residents and advises senior staff and leadership across the Wing. Resident Advocates are key advisors to Wing leadership and are responsible for crafting, leading and executing the strategy of critical advocacy services on behalf of military members and their families. RAs focus on maximizing mission readiness by driving a culture which ensures military members and their families live in safe, healthy and secure privatized housing residences. The RA organizes and maintains the Resident Council on behalf of the Installation Commander which meets quarterly. The Resident Council provides an opportunity for privatized housing residents to discuss health, safety and quality of life concerns with 9th Reconnaissance Wing leadership, the Military Housing Office and Balfour Beatty Communities (BBC). Lastly, the RA interacts with the community to ensure and sustain a positive relationship with BBC and the Military Housing Office. However, if complaints are not resolved, it is the RA's duty to relay that complaint to Wing leadership for resolution.

Housing OPtions

  • Privatized Housing

    Privatized Housing
    At Beale AFB, military family housing is privatized. Balfour Beatty Communities (BBC) owns the family housing and is responsible for maintaining, repairing, constructing and managing the community. In addition to your option to purchase and rent housing in the local community, you now may choose to live in privatized housing by signing a tenant lease agreement with BBC

Community features such as a Community Center, Youth Center, Swimming Pool, Playgrounds, Parks and Picnic Areas, Fitness center and Athletic Fields, Golf Course and Bowling Center are just some of the amenities you will find at Balfour Beatty Communities.
    As a resident of privatized housing, contact the Property Management Office to obtain more specific information on the services available at your location.

    Paying Rent for Privatized Housing
    Similar to living in the local community, you will sign a tenant lease agreement, typically for a one-year term. Your lease includes a military clause and a lease termination clause. You pay your monthly rent by authorizing an allotment of your BAH that is paid directly to the Property Manager. If your move occurs prior to the allotment start date, then you will need to pay the pro-rated rent directly to the Property Manager. The Tenant Lease Agreement spells out all relevant rent payment terms and conditions.


    Gas and Electric Utilities
    At this location, homes in the community are not metered and your rent will include these utility costs, up to your full BAH amount. For more information about your utilities, please contact the Property Management Office.

    Renter’s Insurance is required prior to accepting a home.

  • Unaccompanied Housing

    At Beale AFB we strive to create an inclusive environment that cultivates the development and training of Airmen. The Air Force recognizes that the management of Unaccompanied Housing (UH) facilities is critical to an Airman'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 Airmen in the ranks of E-1 to E-3 and E-4 with less than 3 years of service. Each Airman is provided a private sleeping room, furnishings, bed linens and supplies required for comfortable living. (Room arrangements may vary depending on location)

    Unaccompanied Airmen in the rank of E-4 with greater than 3 years of service and above will 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 campuses at Beale AFB consists of two campuses. The West Campus has three buildings of the 2+2 standard (two rooms share a bathroom). The East Campus has two buildings of the studio standard and one building of the Dorms-4-Airmen standard (a 4- person module with private bedroom and a private bath with a shared common area of kitchen, living/social space, laundry and utility space.

    Amenities include laundry facilities at each building, TV lounges and a large dayroom with big-screen TV, pool table, ping-pong, foosball, a movie room and a kitchen. Behind the dayroom building is a patio area with natural gas and charcoal grills and lounge chairs.

    Specific restrictions for dormitory residents at Beale AFB such as no weapons, no smoking, no pets (except fish), no overnight guests, etc. are listed in the Unaccompanied Housing Brochure you will receive upon room assignment.

    Base Specific Policy
    During your orientation, the ADL or UH Management Office representative will inform you of all Air Force and base-specific policies.

    UH Management Office Staff
    The UH Management Office is staffed with professionals that can assist with all of your housing needs. Staffs vary but can be comprised of non-commissioned officers (NCO), Senior NCOs and some bases have civilian employees. The assigned military are Airman Dormitory Leaders (ADL). These members are highly motivated personnel dedicated to ensuring that residents receive quality service. ADLs will provide you guidance and advice on UH life as well as mentor you on succeeding in the Air Force.

    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 will show you which dormitory to report to for room assignment.

    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. An ADL or a civilian Dorm Manager will take you through the process of checking you into your room and performing a move-in inspection and inventory of the allotted furnishings and supplies.

    If you arrive on the weekend or after normal duty hours, have your sponsor take you to Beale's Lodging Office to be assigned a Dormitory hospitality room until you can meet with an ADL or Dorm Manager to be assigned a permanent room. You will need to show the Lodging Office staff a copy of your orders.

    Resident Responsibilities
    You will be expected to keep your room and any shared living space clean and tidy. Cleaning supplies and equipment can 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 your ADL or 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. Squadron Commanders and unit First Sergeants implement the inspection program and visit rooms to ensure that all residents from their squadron comply with installation standards.

    Bay Orderly Program
    UH residents are expected to assist in the cleaning and upkeep of common areas and shared facilities of their "home." You will periodically be detailed to perform essential cleaning and minor maintenance around the UH campus.

    Dormitory Councils
    The Airmen Dormitory Council is the 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 your ADL or UH Management Office representative about how you can get involved.

    Termination
    It is mandatory for unaccompanied Airmen in the ranks of E-1 to E-3 and E-4 with less than 3 years of service to reside in UH. An E-4 residing in UH reaching 3 years of service may be 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 Airmen, you may be authorized to move out of UH before reaching E-4 with greater than 3 years of service. The most senior Airmen are released first. Your ADL or 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 with greater than 3 years of service and above may be eligible to reside in UH on a space available basis. Contact the UH Management Office to inquire about availability.
