On-Base Housing at Fort Gordon
If you’re considering staying on base, you only need to go to one place, Balfour Beatty Communities, which you can find in the New Olive Terrace neighborhood near the main PX. Balfour Beatty is in charge of the installation’s on-base housing, which was privatized in 2006. The first month’s rent, which all military personnel have to furnish out-of-pocket since Balfour Beatty is unable to accept allotments for only part of a month, is due at the lease signing. At the same time, occupants begin their allotments in which their BAH rate equals the amount they will have to pay.

Fort Gordon Soldier and Family Assistance Center
If you or your family member is one of the many soldiers who have been wounded, are ill or injured, you or your relative can find support at the Family Assistance Center (the SFAC) and participate in renowned programs such as the Warrior Care and Transition Program (WTU) at Fort Gordon. The team is part of the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Gordon, under the command of Eisenhower Army Medical Center.
The battalion’s purpose is to aid soldiers in the physical and mental recovery from their injuries, and help them prepare for returning to duty or transitioning back into civilian life. Included in the rehabilitation program is assistance to Army armed forces members and families in finding and attaining appropriate, affordable housing that meets the requirements of the disabled soldier. This is often done with the aid of the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) and its programs.
The Warrior Transition Battalion – Fort Gordon, is the second-largest of its kind in the U.S. Army, and is scheduled to be closed by August 2016. This loss is due to the decreasing numbers of ill and wounded soldiers returning from dangerous duties.
However, the Community Care Unit (CCU), responsible for much of the aid soldiers receive outside of medical treatment, will remain open. It will continue its objective to help all soldiers who come through the doors achieve their goals in areas like new career training, veterans’ and soldiers’ home loans, finding adequate housing, and others.
