DIO SFA Communications Update: An introduction to the Defence Homes website.


DIO has launched a new website called Defence Homes for Service personnel and their families, as part of our commitment to enhance the overall SFA experience.

The Defence Homes site hosts the latest SFA information and updates, and has now replaced the Service Family Accommodation pages on GOV.UK.

The Defence Homes site is a helpful and improved source of information and support for your SFA queries. Features on the new site include:
SFA news – helping you easily access the latest Families First newsletter
Events within your local community – sign up to a SFA Roadshow
Find out who’s who – read more about the teams who are here to support you
Information and guidance – to support you throughout your time in SFA, such as requesting a repair or reporting an issue
