Corporate housing helps military officers to make an easy transition into permanent housing
My brother is in the military and that means he moves around a lot.
I have heard about military kids switching cities all throughout their lives and I can now confirm that it is true.
Last year, my brother purchased a house and was living in the eastern part of the country, but now he’s getting ready to move again. He will be stationed in the southwest for a while. Moving around like this disrupts a lot, thankfully his wife doesn’t work, and she is able to homeschool the kids. So, this works out for them. Anyway, he was able to get some help from the military housing office in finding new temporary housing. In fact, they were able to find him a fully furnished rental unit that was way below his budgeted housing allowance. I think this is awesome because now my brother wouldn’t need to worry about buying furniture for his new space. And since he plans on renting his home as a fully furnished rental, this just made sense for him. Additionally, the fully furnished rental is just a temporary solution until he can secure more permanent housing. He believes he will be stationed in this new location for a few years before he will have to move again. It’s great that the military provides this kind of help to its officers because searching for fully furnished rentals can be time consuming. Furthermore, the flexibility of the leases of these furnished rentals makes it easier for military families to smoothly transition into their permanent houses. Anyway, my brother will be leaving in a few weeks, and I hope that things go well for him and his family in this new location.
