@alyssavanzo1: alyssavanzo_ CNA approved! Here's my experience getting approved to live off post in Germany At my installation, CNA (Certificate of Non-Availability) approval is currently limited to E-6/Staff Sergeant and above. For the single-Soldier process I went through, you must be unmarried with no dependents back in the States to qualify for OHA. My packet required: A copy of my STP A copy of my promotion orders to Staff Sergeant Housing memorandums requesting CNA approval, signed by the brigade and/or battalion commander as required Two LESs showing I wasn't already receiving BAH or OHA My orders bringing me to Germany My divorce decree, since I was previously married X Allow about three weeks for approval, although timelines can vary. Once approved, go to the Housing Division and let them know whether you've found an apartment or need help searching. You can browse HOMES.mil or Facebook Marketplace-that's where I found mine! Coordinate with housing and the landlord to arrange a showing, and have housing review and approve your lease before signing. For context, I'm an E-6 with six years of service and no dependents. The figures I was given were approximately: €1,750 monthly rental ceiling €800 monthly for utilities €650 as a one-time move-in allowance Those are the figures for my situation-confirm your eligibility and current allowances with housing and finance. Your rental ceiling isn't automatically what you receive; rental reimbursement depends on your approved rent. Also, budget for a security deposit! The amount depends on the apartment and landlord, so ask before committing.#creatorsearchinsights #armylife #germanypcs #CNA #militryhousing
