Navy to Shelter Military Evacuees

Navy housing offices across the country are preparing to shelter military members and families displaced by Hurricane Katrina. In addition to almost 3,000 Visitors Quarters rooms available for short-term use, nearly 5,000 bachelor housing rooms and some 4,400 family housing units have been identified for possible use to house evacuees from Katrina. About 700 displaced Sailors and families already have moved in to bachelor quarters and housing at NAS Pensacola. Members of all uniformed services are eligible. Displaced military members and families who need housing should contact the housing office near where they have re-located, or call (877) 689-2722.
