KIRTLAND AFB, N.M. --  A new website was recently launched to help Airmen access information about Air Force housing.

The Air Force Housing website, www.housing.af.mil, provides standardized information about unaccompanied, base and local housing available at each Air Force base.

"This site is a one-stop shop," said Teri Beckett, Kirtland AFB Housing Management office, Capital Asset Manager. "Airmen arriving at Kirtland will use www.housing.af.mil, as well as Airmen relocating to other bases. This will help streamline the PCS process, instead of each base having its own web page or factsheet."

The website also offers links to several other sites, such as http://www.move.mil, which assists Airmen with shipping household goods, and http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/, which helps Airmen with travel arrangements.

"The new Air Force Housing website has a frequently asked questions section, addressing the concerns Airmen have when moving to a new base," said Beckett.

Each base, including Kirtland AFB, is listed on the Air Force Housing homepage.

"Once Airmen click the Kirtland AFB link on the home page, they can view photos and floor plans of the housing available here," said Beckett. "There is also information about Albuquerque's amenities, utility companies and school districts."

Airmen moving to a new base should use the site as a resource, and are encouraged to contact the base housing office at their gaining installation for more information, said Beckett.

"The Housing Management office is ready to support Kirtland AFB current, inbound, or departing base personnel with transitioning to their new home and community," said Beckett. "Use the website to become familiar with the housing options, but when you arrive at Kirtland AFB, you must visit the Housing Management office for counseling and guidance before entering into any written lease or rental/sales contract for housing."
