Welcome to the San Francisco Bay Area! The PSSU Alameda Area Housing Office manages three housing sites in the area: Alameda (300 units), Concord (144 units) and Novato (142 units). The three housing sites vary significantly in construction, size of units, amenities, proximity to local shopping/schools and climate. There are certain assignment restrictions (based on rank and duty station) for each housing site. For more detailed information on any of the three Housing sites, you can contact the serving Local Housing Office (contacts). You can also view a virtual tour of these housing sites to get a better idea of appearance, layout and location. Supporting documents and references to help you manage your transition in and out of housing are provided in the links below. In the event that you need transitional housing to help you with your move-in or pack-out, PSSU Alameda maintains MWR temporary lodging in Novato.
