For comprehensive information about the privatized housing community at Dyess AFB, you may visit each properties site at: Quail Hollow www.dyessfamilyhousing.com, and www.dyessfamilyhomes.com each website provides information you need to know about the homes and amenities available in each privatized housing community.
Contact the Housing Management Office (HMO) as soon as you know you are moving to Dyess AFB, and they will provide you the appropriate information, and forms required to complete the eligible referral process for privatized housing.
Privatized housing is comparable to housing in the local community and provides a wide variety of amenities and support services.
Community features such as playgrounds, basketball courts, dog parks, pools, etc., are just a few of the amenities you will find with our privatized partners.
As a resident of privatized housing, contact the appropriate Property Management Office to obtain more specific information on the services available.
Similar to living in the local community, you will sign a tenant lease agreement, typically for a one-year term. Your lease includes a military clause and a lease termination clause. You pay your monthly rent by authorizing an allotment of your BAH that is paid directly to the Property Manager. Rent is paid in arrears, helping to eliminate upfront costs; however, the Tenant Lease Agreement spells out all relevant rent payment terms and conditions.
Currently QH is metered and you will be billed directly for gas and electric. Since the homes are metered and you choose your provider, you will retain a portion of your BAH to pay for utilities directly. The utility allowance is determined based on 100 percent of the estimated average utility cost (gas and electric) for each unit type. The more energy you conserve, the more money you keep in your pocket; but if you do not conserve you may have to pay out of pocket.
For more information about your utilities, please contact the Property Management Office where you reside.
