GMH to open new doors for military families
TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, FL - The Gary Michael Holloway Military Housing office anticipates construction completion on its first 28 homes at Redfish Point's extension, late February.
Redfish Extension is projected to have 209 new homes; 116 houses comprised of three and four bedrooms will be reserved for junior enlisted and 93 houses comprised of three and four bedrooms reserved for company grade officers.
The families who will have move-in priority on the 28 homes are being relocated due to the scheduled demolition in Wood Manor. Families on the "wait list" for base housing are second in line, explained Mrs. Teri Henry, GMH Military Housing community manager.
The government has taken steps to ensure military families are well taken care of.
According to the GMH office, if military members are directed to move due to immediately scheduled demolition or renovation of a current home, the government will reimburse the military member. The military member will then have a choice to complete a "do it yourself" move or have a professional carrier move them.
Currently, there is only one area of Wood Manor scheduled for demolition - Sentry Lane located off Sabre Drive - individuals here will have first priority to the new housing, said Mrs. Henry.
"Once the first two priorities are exhausted, relocation availability and policy information will be provided to current (Wood Manor) residents," said Mrs. Henry.
Lease-obligation fulfillment, time remaining at Tyndall AFB, unit condition pre-inspection, and discrepancy and complaint history are all factors determining a resident's move into a newer housing unit, explained Mrs. Henry.
Additionally, housing for officers between the ranks of 0-4 to 0-7 is anticipated spring 2008.
