Who We Support During EVAC

  • U.S. government employees and EFMs under authorized or ordered departure.

  • Those returning to the United States while awaiting departure orders.

  • Personnel seeking fully furnished (or unfurnished if preferred!), move-in ready housing after returning from overseas.

TDY Rentals supports evacuees by arranging compliant lodging and rental furnishings (if applicable) that provides stability and comfort following a sudden relocation. Our furnished homes allow government personnel and their families to settle in quickly while longer-term arrangements and onward assignments are determined. Our lodging is aligned with applicable evacuation and travel authorities, including the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR).

Program Benefits

When evacuation orders require personnel to depart post, securing temporary lodging should not add to the disruption. TDY Rentals arranges fully furnished, compliant housing to support personnel and families during evacuation and temporary relocation within the United States.

Our accommodations are designed to help evacuees settle quickly while agencies finalize safe haven arrangements, onward assignments, or other relocation plans.

Housing Setup

Residences are fully furnished and equipped with essential household items, including furniture, kitchen supplies, linens, and basic housewares, enabling occupants to settle in immediately upon arrival.

Family Accommodation

Evacuations frequently involve spouses and children (and pets!) relocating with little notice. Our housing options provide the space and practical living environment families need during temporary relocation.

Remote Work Capability

Homes can be configured with a dedicated workspace suitable for virtual meetings, remote duties, and continued coordination with agency leadership and colleagues.

Utilities and Connectivity

Utilities, internet service, and essential household services are included in a single monthly invoice to simplify billing and reduce administrative burden.

Documentation and Billing

TDY Rentals provides clear, itemized invoices designed to support lodging reimbursement under applicable evacuation and travel authorities, including the DSSR and FAM travel policies.

Coordinated Support

We manage housing setup, furnishings, utilities, and documentation so personnel can focus on evacuation requirements and next assignment planning.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Contact Us

Reach out as soon as evacuation or departure is anticipated. Even if travel plans are still developing, we can begin identifying housing options that match your expected timeline and location.

2. Provide Travel Authorization

Once evacuation orders or travel authorization are issued, share the documentation with our team. We review the details to confirm housing that aligns with applicable lodging allowances and agency requirements.

3. Prepare Your Housing

Before arrival, the residence is fully prepared with furnishings, household essentials, and optional workspace arrangements so occupants can settle in immediately. TDY Rentals is unique in that we use any remaining per diem to provide personalized furnishings to accommodate your need (baby cribs, blackout curtains, Nespresso machines, etc.)

4. Arrival and Occupancy

Your housing is ready upon arrival, allowing you and your family to transition smoothly while evacuation support and onward assignment plans are determined.

5. Ongoing Support and Documentation

Throughout the stay, we provide clear, itemized invoices and supporting documentation designed to align with lodging allowances under the FAM/DSSR. If relocation plans change, we coordinate adjustments as needed.

What TDY Travelers Are Saying

We could get whatever we wanted from TDY Rentals.

My favorite part of TDY Rentals is that I got to make a little in-home gym.

Having a new mattress […] that I know the firmness level […] I enjoy was huge.

Evacuation Housing Support

TDY Rentals provides temporary housing solutions for U.S. government personnel during sudden relocations. When evacuation or departure orders require personnel to leave post, the priority should remain on safety, family, and planning next assignments—not managing housing logistics.

Our team is experienced with government travel regulations and relocation allowances. Federal employees and service members must follow agency policies, maintain proper documentation, and ensure expenses remain compliant. We simplify this process by coordinating housing that meets agency requirements and providing clear, itemized invoices.

Many of the personnel we support are returning from overseas assignments or high-demand postings. Whether diplomats or service members, having fully furnished, stable housing helps families transition effectively during periods of uncertainty. Our residences provide a secure and comfortable environment so personnel can regroup, recharge, and focus on upcoming assignments.

Here are some common temporary lodging myths:

You Must Stay in a Hotel

Many assume that returning from an evacuation means staying in hotels until a return-to-post or forwarding assignment is determined. In practice, government employees relocating from overseas posts often have access to furnished housing that offer greater stability and comfort during the transition.

TDY Rentals places evacuees in fully prepared homes, providing personnel and their families the space and environment needed to settle in, regroup, and prepare for upcoming assignments. This approach supports a smoother transition compared with temporary hotel stays, while maintaining compliance with agency travel and lodging policies.

Evacuation Housing is an Exception

Official travel and lodging policies can be complex, particularly during evacuations when plans change rapidly and multiple agencies may be involved. Employees are still required to follow agency guidance, maintain proper documentation, and ensure lodging expenses remain compliant with applicable travel policies and allowances.

TDY Rentals understands how these requirements apply during sudden relocations and temporary assignments. Our goal is to provide comfortable, fully prepared housing that supports a smooth transition while keeping compliance and documentation straightforward for personnel and their families.

Reimbursement Isn’t Guesswork

Housing reimbursement during relocation is governed by written agency and travel policies. Challenges often occur when personnel are uncertain how lodging allowances apply during evacuations or temporary assignments. Even when plans change rapidly, government travel regulations and documentation requirements must be followed.

TDY Rentals provides clear, itemized invoices and supporting documentation designed to align with agency and Department of State Standardized Regulations lodging allowances. This ensures personnel can focus on settling in while maintaining compliance throughout their transition.

Referral Program

TDY Rentals offers a referral program designed to recognize personnel who help colleagues identify temporary housing. The program has been reviewed and approved by legal counsel to ensure compliance with military and federal guidelines.
