FAM applies equally to Service personnel whether single, married, in a civil partnership, long term established relationship or parents who have their children over 80 nights per calendar year. This means that Service personnel assigned to a pilot site, who are eligible, can choose the accommodation that best suits their needs, whether they want to live closer to a particular school or nursery, on the base, in town with their friends or somewhere they and their partner can both easily commute from.
Army Major Lisa Brown shares her story about how she received support through FAM to help buy a dream home with plenty of room for her family.
