SUBJ: COAST GUARD LEASED HOUSING POLICY CHANGE
A. Coast Guard Housing Manual, COMDTINST M11101.13G
1. This ALCOAST announces an update to REF (A) and provides
Leased Housing Contracting Officers (LHCO) greater flexibility
in order to better meet the housing needs of our members.
2. Section 5.D.9.a of REF (A) is amended to read "The lease
contract will be terminated when the housing is no longer required.
When canceling an occupied lease for the convenience of the
government the member is entitled to a government funded local
move or storage of HHG. Commander (CG PSC) approval is required
to retain vacant leases beyond 60 days."
3. Newly acquired leased housing may remain vacant up to 60
days prior to member's arrival and current or existing leases may
remain vacant up to 60 days between changes of occupancy.
Extensions beyond 60 days will be considered on a waiver basis
through the housing office chain of command to Commander (CG PSC).
4. LHCOs should continue to make every effort to acquire
leased housing in conjunction with member's assignment
date, and minimize the number of days a lease remains vacant.
5. Leased housing is considered an extension of Coast Guard
owned housing and when assigned a minimum of 12 months of
occupancy is required.
6. Early communication between the inbound members and the
servicing housing office is imperative to ensure housing
needs are addressed prior to the member's arrival at the new
duty station.
7. The Housing Program remains committed to assisting members
and their families secure adequate housing within a reasonable
commute of their duty station.
8. These changes will be incorporated into the next revision
of REF (A), which will be released within the next year.
9. This message will be cancelled on 08 MAY 2023.
10. POCs: Mr. James R. Jeffery at: 202-475-5411,

11. Dr. D. M. Navarro, Acting Assistant Commandant for Human
Resources (CG-1), sends.
