Navy family housing in the Puget Sound region has been privatized under the Public/Private Venture (PPV) housing initiative. There is housing at Ft. Lawton in Seattle and Brier (Lynnwood), but these units are scheduled to be closed in 2009 as new housing becomes available in Marysville. Currently 288 PPV units are located near the Navy Support Complex north of Marysville at Carroll's Creek Landing. These townhouses consist of 85 two-bedroom units, 175 three-bedroom units and 28 four-bedroom units. Rents are tied to a member's Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). Rent includes water, sewer and trash. Waiting lists for all units are maintained at the Housing Resource Center.

The Navy is a limited partner in these units and active-duty personnel have priority to rent the units. These PPV units, however, are not traditional military family housing. Residents must comply with the rules of the civilian owner.

All incoming personnel are directed by their orders to report to the HRC before making any commitments for housing (rental or sales) in the community. The housing office is located at the Housing Welcome Center at the Navy Support Complex, 13912 45th Avenue N.E., Marysville, WA 98271. Office hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

The HRC maintains computerized rental listings provided by property management companies, individual landlords, brokers, and agents. The listing consists of apartments, houses, duplexes, condominiums, townhouses and studios.

The Rental Partnership Program (RPP) waives security deposits and application fees for service members participating in the program. Military members will pay rent through an allotment. All military must complete an application and checklist and provide a copy of orders and page 2 prior to participating in the RPP. There are currently 40 apartment complexes participating in this program.
