HOUSING AVAILABILITY (HA)
HA‐1 Availability of housing
Airmen stationed at Travis AFB, especially enlisted personnel, can find it challenging to find housing that is affordable in the local communities, although
housing in Solano County is significantly more affordable than communities to the south in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
HA‐1A General
Inform communities of Air Force housing needs
Travis AFB should work with the local communities to provide them information
on general areas where personnel that work at Travis AFB live and provide them
information on personnel housing needs within the communities.
On‐going
HA‐1B General
Update housing elements and plans
The TSS Partner communities should update their housing elements within their
general plans to incorporate housing demand estimates for Travis personnel
(provided by Travis AFB) associated with the demand from Travis AFB personnel
and military families who live in the communities. The estimates should include
current occupancy rates and waiting list rates. This will enable a more accurate
picture of military housing needs in this area.
On‐going
HA‐1C General
Inform communities about Travis AFB housing services
Travis AFB should inform local realtor associations about its housing services and
how new personnel are informed of local housing options, in order to promote
housing in local communities.
