Relocation Services for Military Families

Relocation Services for Military Families are given a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) order every year, which is the command to move to a new home. This is not only a stressful time for service members, but also their families who are forced to say goodbye to friends and leave behind places they love. AHRN has launched the Relocation Concierge Service to help make the PCS process run as smoothly as possible for military professionals and their families.

Whether it’s a local or long-distance move, the stressors that come with military relocation are similar: spouses have to reestablish their careers, children must make new friends and adjust to different school systems, and the whole family has to figure out new transportation routes, grocery stores and other basic necessities. For some, the challenges can be even more intense, especially if they relocate to an overseas assignment or to an installation that is remote and far from urban centers.

Seamless Moves: Relocation Services for Military Families

Frequent moves can also take a toll on a service member’s emotional well-being, and they can be hard for kids who crave stability and friendship. To help your family thrive during a move, talk with them about it, learn as much as you can about the new location, and find ways to connect with other military families in the area.

There are many resources available to military families during a move, from online forums and social media groups for military families to onsite community activities. You can also research privatized housing options, like those offered by the military at many installations, as well as take advantage of financial assistance programs.
