Am I entitled to Service Family Accommodation (SFA)?
Service personnel aged 18 and over, who are married, in a civil partnership or who have permanent custody of children and have at least six months to serve are entitled to apply for SFA.
Entitlement for SFA is at your Duty Station – although you may be eligible to apply for surplus SFA at other locations.

The type of property you are entitled to is usually dependent on your rank for Officers and family size for Other Ranks.
When you apply for SFA, the Housing Allocations Service Centre (HASC) will allocate you a property based on your entitlement or eligibility. However, the following list shows the types and sizes of properties that are available.
Other Ranks:
- Type D - 4 bedrooms

- Type B - 2 bedrooms
Officers:
- Type I - 4/5 bedrooms
- Type II - 4/5 bedrooms
- Type III - 4 bedrooms
- Type IV - 4 bedrooms
- Type V - 3 bedrooms
Eligible Service and civilian personnel may apply to temporarily occupy surplus SFA where it is available. To be eligible to occupy surplus SFA within the UK, you must meet the criteria laid out in JSP 464 Part 1 Chapter 10.
