Military Housing for the Coast Guard in Honolulu, Hawaii

The Coast Guard has minimal government-owned housing in Hawaii. However, this housing must maintain full occupancy, so incoming members must check in with the housing office to ensure they are released from mandatory assignment to these housing units before they pursue other housing arrangements. Other military family housing in Hawaii is privatized. Privatized housing companies are responsible for constructing, maintaining, repairing, and managing their military family communities. The Coast Guard does not have its own privatized military family housing in Hawaii, but has an agreement with Island Palm Communities (an Army housing partner). Island Palm Communities provides Coast Guard members the same assignment priority as Army members for its military family housing. Coast Guard members may also choose to pursue placements on Air Force and Navy military family housing waitlists as well. Navy family housing is provided by Ohana Military Communities and Air Force family housing is provided by Hickam Communities.
