from 319th Air Base Wing Public Affairs
12/27/2013 - GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- The
Department of Defense is withdrawing its sponsorship of the Automated
Housing Referral Network (AHRN) beginning Jan. 1, 2014.
AHRN is a direct marketing resource for landlords and property managers
to promote available rental units to military members worldwide who are
seeking housing at a gaining duty station.
The contract between the DoD and Runzheimer International, which owns
and manages the website, was originally developed by the Office of the
Secretary of Defense and is currently administered by the Department of
the Navy. It has been determined that AHRN does not meet the DoD
information assurance requirements, and therefore, cannot continue to be
sponsored. The contract will expire Dec. 31, 2013, and will not be
renewed.
AHRN will continue to function as a commercial website without DoD
sponsorship in the new year. Members and property managers who continue
to use AHRN's services after the contract expiration will be required to
review and accept updated user agreements.
Military members will still have other resources to locate community
housing after the contract expiration, however; members may contact
their installation housing office for information on available rental
properties in the local community. The Air Force housing public website,
www.housing.af.mil, also offers specific details by installation for
family, unaccompanied and privatized housing.
