As part of the Department of Defense's mandated Resident Pay Utility Program, Residents are only responsible for paying for excessive electricity consumption above their home's pre-determined baseline.  An electric usage "baseline" is determined for each and every floor plan on Fort Hood using the Department of Energy's II Model ("DOE II") method.   This method utilizes over 72 different lifestyle and mechanical criteria to determine what your home's fair and realistic average kilowatt hour consumption should be each month.  This method even accounts for real-time high and low temperature days each month throughout the year.

As a resident of housing at Fort Hood Family Housing LP, each active duty Service Member in a rental home is provided with renter’s insurance while a resident occupant. This insurance provides a limited amount of coverage for personal property and may be extended to cover the personal property owned by family members and guests while it is on the resident’s premises. The renter’s insurance program also provides personal liability insurance.

This coverage does not extend to any liability arising from the use of motor vehicles nor does this coverage extend to any liability arising from assault and batteries, and/or the operation of a home business including day care services. Each Service Member is encouraged to supplement this basic renter’s insurance based upon their own assessment of the amount of property or liability coverage needed to protect their own interests.

As this coverage is provided to you as part of your basic allowance for housing, we encourage you to seek supplemental coverage. There are numerous insurance companies that offer additional limits for contents and personal liability insurance. A Service Member’s estimated value of their property (i.e., household furniture, jewelry, clothing, and other personal property) may exceed the coverage limits of this Renter’s Policy. Certain articles including, but not limited

to jewelry, securities, watches, furs, silverware and firearms are subject to policy sub-limits.
