Service members must send a housing application (DD Form 1746) accompanied with a copy of detachment orders, completed sex offender and pet disclosures to the Family Housing office, government staff to be placed on the appropriate waiting list prior to reporting in. If a member has reported aboard, he or she must present a copy of the reporting endorsement, or a memorandum for housing purposes only.

The date of detachment from the previous duty station is used to establish the effective control date for the waiting list, provided application is made within 30 calendar days after officially reporting aboard, and will also be used when checking in for housing purposes only. Call 703-784-2711 (DSN 278).

A public-private venture partnership was formed in October 2003 to redevelop the housing inventory aboard Quantico. The homes on the base are now owned and professionally managed by Lincoln Military Housing. Once housing applications are processed by the Family Housing Office, homes are then offered and leased by the LMH staff. Leases are required with a minimum six-month commitment, and a 30-day written notice is required prior to the date quarters are vacated.
