Military housing is offered for Service Members with families, single Service Members, at La Mesa and Ord Military Community (OMC); the properties are managed by the Parks at Monterey Bay - Michaels Organization. Before renting, leasing, or purchasing a property, any military personnel reporting to the Presidio of Monterey / Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, or Naval Postgraduate School, must get in touch with and complete the Housing Services Office (HSO). The purpose of the HSO is to give military retirees, DoD civilians, and service members and their families balanced information about housing relocation. The HSO is the first person to contact if you have any queries about housing in the Monterey region after you arrive.
