At some Installations, you may be asked to sign a copy of the Privacy Act and/or Megan's Law as a part of the application process.

Once you return your signed lease, the Base Housing Office will notify the appropriate payment system to get the BAH activated at the correct time.

When you live in most Lincoln Military Housing communities, your BAH covers both your rent, renters insurance, gas, water, and average electricity usage. Most housing is metered and follows the Resident Energy Conservation Program (RECP). Please visit LincolnRECP.com if you would like to learn more about the RECP. If you choose to live in the private sector, your utilities may not be included, making them your responsibility to pay.

Rent will increase to match the BAH. If there is a change in your BAH entitlement, it is your responsibility to notify the property manager within 15 business days of the change.

Lincoln Military Housing provides all maintenance for the communities it manages, including trash collection, recyclable collection, snow removal, grounds maintenance, pest control, and other necessary services.

Lincoln does its best to accommodate any special needs that may arise. The priority for an EFM family is based on EFM level and is determined by the Housing Office.

Pets are allowed at some communities. Be sure to let your housing office know ahead of time that you have a pet. You will need to register your pet with the office and follow the community policies with regards to the number of pets, weight and breed restrictions, pet security deposit and the care of your pet.

Notification of the size of home you qualify for will happen when you express interest in Private Public Venture (PPV) housing. You will be notified of availability at the time of assignment and depending on whether or not there is a waiting list.
Please be reminded that it is entirely the service member’s decision whether or not to live in PPV housing. It is up to you to select the best value for your family needs.
