Collection

Joint Service Housing Advice Office (JSHAO)

Civilian housing options; information for service personnel and their dependants.

This collection was withdrawn on

This publication is superseded by Information and guidance on civilian housing.

In line with the Government’ Strategy for Our Veterans, the Joint Service Housing Advice Office (JSHAO) and its outputs were reviewed.

A revised set of these outputs will now be delivered by Defence Transition Services (DTS), part of Defence Business Services (DBS) and the JSHAO brand no longer exists.

This will bring efficiency to the co-ordination and delivery of the through-career transition information and support services, meeting the needs of the Service community now and in the future.
