Me and my husband live in base housing, and my aunt recently got kicked out of the place she was staying. Would it be possible to have her move on base with us? Would it be considered a family emergency so that she can live on base with us temporarily?

I would recommend reading the lease agreement, I believe it stipulates the length of time that a visitor turns into Tenant.

Agree. It will likely be in your 'Resident Responsibility Guide' as well. For example, on Fort Belvoir, the guide* spells out under 'conditions of occupancy' that "the use of the home for any other purpose, including shelter for any additional persons, except temporary guests residing in the home for less than thirty (30) days, is prohibited without prior written Landlord consent."

I just noticed (well, it was obvious so I SHOULD have noticed sooner) that you tagged your post with Ft. Hood.

In the Ft. Hood Resident Guide under section 2.12 (Guest Policy), it states "Residents shall notify their respective community office in writing of all guests staying more than seven days, but less than 29 days. No guest or visitor may stay in the home for more than 30 days without the expressed written consent of Fort Hood Family Housing."

Furthermore, "Requests for guest(s) staying longer than 30 days are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with any deployment and installation policies. The request should provide specific reasons for the exception."

This comes down to your housing contract, since most base housing units are now privatized. I agree with PO1 H Gene Lawrence Check with housing office for the right answer.
Where it would become more difficult, is if you have to go through a base entrance gate to get to your home, because then you would need a visitor pass every time you re-entered the base with her in the car.

MAJ Ronnie Reams - At Whiteman AFB, I was required to go in to the Visitor Control Office and get a visitor pass for my wife, since your Military ID had expired. Her Missouri Driver's License is still current.

And I'm retired Navy, and I'm not sure what security changes may have taken place since I retired. Some Navy bases just wanted the driver to have a military ID, and didn't even worry about the passengers, before I retired.
