From Directorate Quality of Life

Department of National Defence housing policy and procedures have changed as of April 1, 2007.

The lion’s share of what’s changed, however, such as guidance on roles, responsibilities, management, administration, maintenance and custodianship, has probably changed unnoticed by those of you who occupy DND Living Accommodations.

A change you may have noticed is one of terminology:

New DND Living Accommodations = Former DND Accommodations (both Quarters and Housing);

New DND Residential Housing = Former Permanent Married Quarters (PMQs) and Married Quarters (MQs);

New Residential Housing Units (RHU) = Former Individual unit;

New Residential Housing Sites (RHS) = Former PMQ patch; and

New Residential Housing Area (RHA) = Former specific non-residential areas/facilities within an RHS (i.e., sports fields, empty areas).
