TheHome Based Businesses (HBBs) are an important contributor to Army Family quality of life – New changes to procedures makes it easier and quicker to gain approval to operate an on-post HBB.

HBBs allow Families to work from their Army family housing, developing rewarding careers that follow them through PCS moves. The wide span of HBBs operated by Army Families includes:

  • Car repair/service
  • Hairdressing and hairstyling
  • Home baking and meal preparation
  • Pet grooming and pet sitting
  • Massage therapy
  • Retail sales from home

 

The Directorate of Family and MWR (DFMWR) is the single point of contact and entry for HBB applications on USAG Humphreys. DFMWR offers required HBB training via Army Community Services (ACS). Requests for information can be made with ACS at DSN 757-2363/2369 or commercial 0503-357-2363/2369, Maude Hall, Building 6400.

 

Members of the community residing in Army Family Housing must have HBB training and Garrison Commander authorization to conduct business in their assigned housing units on USAG Humphreys. All personnel who desire to operate a HBB must submit their application thru DFMWR Financial Management Branch to the Garrison Commander for his approval. The Garrison Commander does not have legal authority to approve off-post businesses.
