OFF-BASE HOUSING
We can assist you in locating adequate and suitable off-base housing. You can contact us by calling DSN 675-2568/2570 or commercial (605) 385-2568/2570. Our office is located across the street from the shoppette. However, if you would like to get started on your search before you arrive at Ellsworth AFB, there is a DoD sponsored web site (AHRN) designed to improve and speed up the process of military service members and their families securing available off-base community housing rentals.
After completing the AHRN registration process, military service members will be able to:
· Search for available rental listings in and around military installations.
· Review information of all available properties listed within the AHRN database.
· Contact available property owners/realtors.
· Obtain driving directions to available rental properties.
Unlike other rental listing web sites, AHRN is designed to list only currently available or soon to be available properties. Register now to find the solution to your future community housing needs by going to www.ahrn.com.
All incoming personnel are required by Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-6001 to report to the Military Family Housing (MFH) office before making any rental, lease, or purchase arrangements for off-base housing.
Bringing your pet to the Rapid City area can be a problem. Only 4 pet units are available in the TLF. Most Rapid City landlords will not allow pets, and those that do usually require a large pet deposit and even extra monthly charges. Many new arrivals board their pets in kennels or other pet boarding facilities. ONLY two pets are allowed in MFH if they are properly cared for. There are no waivers for additional pets.
Our housing referral assistant will attempt to resolve complaints or disputes to the mutual agreement of all parties relating to damage, indebtedness, lease disagreements, security deposits, etc. Contact us at 385-2574 if our services are needed.
Ellsworth AFB does not currently have any landlords or property managers on a restrictive sanction list. Please immediately report to our office (385-2574) any form of discrimination involving race, color, sex, national origin, or any other complaints that concern off-base housing facilities.
