BGovernment Housing
Fort Benning housing has been privatized effective 1 January 2006 and is
now operated by Pinnacle.
Due to privatization, the housing unit count will fluctuate based on
demolition of old units and
construction of new units. There are currently 4,000 units of family
housing on the installation. All eligible PCS personnel who have one or
more family members living with them are eligible to apply for military
housing. The date you sign out of your last PCS station will be your
eligibility date, which determines your position on the waiting list,
not your waiting time for quarters. Soldiers are placed on the waiting
list for on-post housing in accordance with the soldier's eligibility
date. This date will be established in the Housing office. The waiting
list for quarters currently varies from 1 month to 6 months. The Housing
Office will consider waiting list variables such as grade, number of
family members, etc
