Picerne Military Housing's core mission is One Company. One Mission. Families First.® Being true to our mission, we have created a Family Services (FS) program that serves to support meeting the needs of our military families.
Our Relocation Specialists and Resident Service Specialists have been trained to work to facilitate a smooth transition for the family to their new home by directing you to the proper resources for WIC, SSI, Food Stamps, FSSA and Health and Welfare issues
For assistance, contact our Relocation Manager at 580.581.2144 or your Neighborhood Manager.
The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP)Picerne Military Housing (PMH) is focused on delivering excellence to all families. However, we know that a number of military families are in need of special support under the Exceptional Family Member Program.
This program is here to assist families with special needs to improve their quality of life by making homes and facilities readily accessible.
AR 608-75 establishes policies & procedures for facilitating the EFMP. The Family Services (FS) representative will address all requests for exception to policy regarding living accommodations and requests impacting waiving the wait list in a timely manner. It is critical that the attending physician, the program manager for the EFMP, and/or the community health nurse, provide a recommendation to all special consideration requests.
BAH and LES InformationHousing privatization is new to many military sponsors and families. When residing on a privatized installation, the sponsors now receive their basic allowance for housing (BAH), which is listed on their leave and earnings statement (LES). Picerne Military Housing works closely with supporting state and federal agencies to educate them on privatization and the mechanics of the BAH.
Family Advocacy ProgramThe objectives of this program as outlined in AR 608-18 are to:
- Prevent spouse and child abuse
- Encourage reporting of all instances of such abuse
- Ensure that prompt assessment and investigation of all abuse cases
- Protect victims of abuse
- Treat all family members affected by or involved in abuse
We will refer all known or suspected cases to the appropriate installation entity with discretion.
Family Child Care
There is one Child Development Center at Fort Sill. As a relief to center-based care, Army Child, Youth & School Services provides
a viable option for numerous military families. Picerne Military Housing addressed this issue in detail in the CDMP. We will continue to
work with the Child Development Center Coordinator to support this needed program.
