Their website (https://www.ahrn.com) provides key information regarding available community homes and apartments to live in.
The HSO is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except the first and third Thursday of each month when assistance begins at 9 a.m. Their phone numbers are (808) 438-0149 or 438-3820.
However, both the Navy HSC and the Hickam HMO can provide housing referral services (HRS) and information regarding living in community housing.
The DoD sponsored home finding website (https://www.homes.mil) is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is free and totally self-service--both by those searching for properties and those listing properties. Those seeking rental properties can view photos, maps and detailed descriptions of property listings. The information included on the website also shows available amenities, dates, prices and mileage from military installations. HSO services include in-depth briefings on renting in the community, scheduling appointments to view rentals, transportation to view prospective rentals, lease review, complaint mediation, discrimination complaint processing, inspecting rentals for adequacy, rental listings, BAH rates, school information, in-depth maps of Oahu, security deposit waiver information (utilities), and information on the Housing Relocation Assistance Program (HRAP).
Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA) is for personnel arriving and departing Hawaii and is provided to partially reimburse a member for the more than normal expenses incurred while occupying temporary lodgings. Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) continues during the period a member receives TLA reimbursement.
Temporary lodging reimbursements are limited to only those facilities that are either listed on the TLA Approved Lodging listing or are properly registered with the State of Hawaii to operate as Hotel/Transient Accommodations. If reserving with someone not listed in the attached, simply ask the leasing agent for a Transient Accommodations Tax Number. If they cannot provide one, please choose different accommodations. If unsure, please contact the customer service manager or the HSO office prior to committing to reservations.
NOTE: TLA room reimbursement will be at the Navy Lodge rate when transient lodging facilities are available and a Certificate of Non-Availability (CNA) is not provided with TLA claim (CNRHINST 72202E para 6.b refers). Be sure to obtain a CNA from the Navy Lodge if your TLA reservation is not at that primary facility.
