Among the multiple resources available to service members on the move<\/a>, the Housing Early Assistance Tool<\/a> may be one of the most straightforward, offering to connect troops and families with needed resources at their future duty stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site separates users by whether they\u2019ve received their orders, with different features available for each group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users also can request help finding housing in the community, either for permanent residency or on a temporary basis while other housing opens up.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
