If the Services Center indicates Military Family Housing will not be available within 60 days you must actively pursue off base housing (a minimum of 5 houses per week) to be eligible for TLA. TLA may be extended at the end of 60 days only after the Services Center certifies that you are actively seeking off base housing.
