For more than five years, the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works (DPW) Housing Division personnel and offices have been co-located with their customers in the South Post Housing area.
Since the relocation in 2014, the housing area has grown from 57 homes to 113, essentially doubling in size. Twenty-two of those homes are officer homes (nine three-bedroom and 13 four-bedroom), and 91 are enlisted homes (55 three-bedroom and 36 four-bedroom).
The 2014 move included reopening the renovated South Post Community Center, building 6158, which is also the home to Housing Division offices. And adjacent to the community center is the housing warehouse — building 6167 — which includes a Self-Help Center for housing residents.
The South Post Community Center is a popular venue, officials said. It was built in 1931 and previously served as an instructors building and the garrison commander’s home.
The inside of the center features an open-design concept with a conference and meeting area, a full kitchen, two bathrooms, and a sitting area with new furniture and a 64-inch flat screen television. The center’s front sunroom can be used during warmer weather. To schedule events at the center, residents just need to contact the DPW Housing Office.
The Self-Help Center section of the warehouse is heated and open year-round for residents. The rest of the warehouse is cold storage for spare appliances and other items required for maintenance on family housing units.
For more information about all support and services available by the Housing Division staff, visit their offices in the South Post Community Center.
Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services each year since 1984.
