The Future Accommodation Model (FAM) – Many of you will know by now that FAMisanMOD project looking at how Defence will deliver housing to its personnel over the next 50 years. Unlike the current Service Families’ Accommodation model, which is based on rank and marital status, we expect that FAMentitlement will be open to all Service Personnel (SP) based on need, recognising the needs both of modern family life and our single personnel. The project has now entered its design phase, focusing on three Strategic options that consist of amix of retained SFAand use of the private market by means of an accommodation allowance. Under all these options the MOD will continue to provide Single Living Accommodation (SLA). Asignificant amount of work is being done to develop and agree the supporting FAMpolicies, such as welfare provision, schooling, childcare and dependant eligibility.HQAir is working closely with the MOD FAMteam to help shape these policies. There will be atrial period, perhaps of three or more years, but it will not start before December 2018 and decisions on the scope, scale and location of the pilot are yet to be made. We share aFAM infographic with you overleaf but watch out for more information –our weekly eBULLETIN will share information as and when we have it:

Also be aware that there is still ahuge amount of work to be done on what is along term initiative that will take many years to introduce everywhere: It will not be asudden, ‘big bang’ event, introduced at short notice.
Finally –weurge you to continue to report any SFAand SLA issues that may be of concern to you….. and please be on the lookout for our on-line Surveys.
