The following information is designed to help you through the process of applying for family housing on Fort Bliss.

You may submit an Application on-line via our website. You will be taken to another screen, and asked to select an installation. Please select Fort Bliss, and continue on, using your AKO username and password to access our system. If you are unable to access this application, please call our office at 915-564-0795 and we will be happy to assist you.

Once you have completed the application, it is time to submit your supporting documents. These documents include:

• Orders bringing you to Fort Bliss
• Copy of Military ID

*** If Fort Bliss is your first permanent duty station, please include a copy of your orders from Basic Training, and AIT so that you may be given the correct eligibility date.

You may submit your Orders by faxing them to 915-564-1853. Until your orders are received, you will not be placed on the Wait List. Please make a courtesy call to our office to inform us that you have faxed your orders and you need your application reviewed. Until we received your orders, your application will state that it is “un-reviewed”. It will state “reviewed” once the application has been reviewed. When you are added to the Wait List, it will give you a sequence number. The effective date is by eligibility date (the date we received your application).

Once you have completed your application and submitted the proper documentation, you will notice that your Wait List position will appear where you submitted an Application. You may use this to track your Wait List status, or you can call us anytime to check on your position.

Once you arrive to Fort Bliss and check in with your command, please proceed to the Balfour Beatty Communities Management Office located at 1991 Marshall Road, Fort Bliss, TX 79906.

A Resident Specialist will meet with you and show you housing units that are available.
