Temporary Lodging Facility

While single members may report almost immediately to their parent commands or get temporary billeting in the BEQ/BOQ, families will most likely spend some time at the Yokosuka Navy Lodge or, if the Lodge is full, at a hotel in town.

Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA)

Guests are responsible for paying their Lodge bill after each 10 day period of stay. Your Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA) will be paid by the Disbursing Office after the Navy Lodge endorses your receipt. Important: Your TLA will not start until you have checked into your command, or into the Transient Personnel Unit if your afloat command is out of port. You can not draw TLA while you are in a travel status. You can only draw TLA while in a leave status after you have checked into you gaining command (or TPU) and after your gaining command authorizes subsequent leave. If Welcome Center personnel state that Military Family Housing may be available within 60 days you may remain at the Navy Lodge and TLA will be paid in 10 day increments until you move in.  Declination of Military Family Housing may result in TLA being stopped.  If the Welcome 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.
