UNACCOMPANIED PERSONNEL HOUSING (UPH)

At JBLM we strive to create an inclusive environment that cultivates the development and training of Soldiers and Airmen. The Army and the Air Force recognize that the management of Unaccompanied Personnel Housing (UPH) facilities is critical to a service member’s development. UPH is a personal residence, and we strive to provide a modern, functional, well maintained and comfortable home as well as promote pride, professionalism and personal dignity.

UPH is provided for unaccompanied Soldiers E5 and below and for unaccompanied Airmen E4 and below with less than three years of service. For JBLM Barracks information call (253) 966-0505 and for McChord Field dorm information call (253) 982-7474.

There are more than 10,000 Soldier barracks spaces and more than 600 Airmen dormitory spaces on JBLM for unaccompanied Soldiers and Airmen.
