Housing
The Housing Referral Office provides personalized housing
locator service assisting DOD Military and Civilian Personnel
in obtaining non-discriminating, adequate, affordable housing
in the civilian community. All arriving military personnel must
contact the Housing Referral Office before negotiating a contract
for off-post and non-government housing.
For further information contact the Housing Referral Office,
Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. at (202) 782-

Privatized Housing
The Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPLI) Act
passed in 1996 provides the military service with alternatives
to eliminate inadequate family housing. The Residential
Communities Initiative (RCI) program is a critical component
in providing world class communities through public-private
partnerships. Walter Reed Army Medical Center has partnered
with GMH Military Housing to obtain private sector expertise,
creativity, innovation and capital for our service members and
their families housing needs. GMH Housing is located in
Silver Spring, Maryland, approximately three (3) miles from
the installation.
For further information visit GMH website at www.
wramchomes.com or call (301) 649-9700.
Transportation
Parking
Parking on the main installation is severely limited, as it is
in most of the Washington area. Carpooling reduces traffic and
parking congestion, saves both gas and nerves, and reduces
overall exhaust emissions. You must have a parking permit to
park in designated parking spaces on post. The Walter Reed
Parking and Vehicle Registration Office issues parking permits
to all authorized Walter Reed and tenant-activity staff.
Rumbaugh Garage is at the rear of Bldg. 2 (main hospital)
and is reserved for officers, civilian physicians, active-duty
interns assigned to Walter Reed, senior civilian employees,
some senior noncommissioned officers and Uniformed
Services University of the Health Sciences students on rotation
at Walter Reed. Parking is also available there for contract
nurses, volunteers and consultants, with approval from the garrison
commander.
Abrams Hall, Bldg. 14, has an underground garage with
three levels of access-controlled parking for barracks occupants,
employees in the grade of GS-12, commissioned officers,
authorized senior noncommissioned officers, Uniformed
Services University of the Health Sciences students on rotation
at Walter Reed, other staff in positions with designated parking,
and carpools and vanpools.
