Service Family Accommodation ( SFA )
Family Outreach Meetings
Representatives from Pinnacle , Vivo , Welfare and the PN Housing Officer ( HO ) hold monthly Outreach Meetings in conjunction with Coffee Mornings on the last Friday of every month in the Innsworth Community Centre .
These meetings provide an opportunity for anyone experiencing SFA issues to discuss matters directly with the contractors responsible for SFA repair and maintenance . Details of the dates and times of the meetings can be found in HQ ARRC Bulletins and on the Imjin Station Community Facebook site .
SFA Allocations
Housing Service Personnel ( SP ) posted to Imjin Barracks in a house and area of their choice poses difficulties at any time of the year . Although every effort will always be made to achieve a SP ’ s aspiration , this is not always possible . On occasion there is simply insufficient housing stock available in the desired location .
It is important to note that SFA Pre-Move Out ( PMO ) and Move Out ( MO ) appointments should be made by the occupant as soon as possible after receiving their Assignment Order . PMO should be booked 3 months before end of tour and there must be at least two weeks between PMO and MO appointments . SFAs cannot be reallocated until the resident has booked both appointments , and a pre-Move Out has taken place .
Any delay in booking either appointment has significant knock-on effects . Not only does it hamper the HO ’ s ability to identify vacant properties to ensure a timely and efficient Move In plan , but it can also :
● Prevent a SP being allocated a property in the location of their choice .
● Condense the time needed for an individual from both the UK and overseas to organise their travel and house move arrangements .
● Potentially cause children of school age to miss the start of the new academic year .
● Disrupt a SP ’ s Induction Training into ARRC .
Outgoing residents should also be aware that on departure of SFA , Pinnacle and Vivo contractually have 15 working days to make ready a property for the next resident adding further delay to the Move In process .
If you have any queries about the application process , booking pre-Move Outs and Move Outs or other housing issues , please do email : allison . clayton100 @ mod . gov . uk
