Me and my husband are both dual military, I have a cousin that isn’t doing well financially, and I wanted to know if he could move in for a while, if he can what are the steps I need to take? thank you.

Better talk to base housing. That would/should be your first stop. Then, if Housing says it's okay, immediately both go to your CoCs and inform them of the situation.

If you don’t own the place you live, you need to review the rental agreement. Most local/civilian rentals have a background check requirement for all residents.
On base, check with housing. Note that there could be access issues when they are not military, you have to keep getting passes.

If you live on base housing he is going to need long term access to the base and not just a visitor pass. That’s going to be one of the biggest issues you face. Depending on the base, you can’t just have unescorted civilians wandering around the post

When I was in the was a time limit for family visitors- better check with Housing, that kind of violation can terminate your housing agreement.

NEVER let anyone move into any property you own or are responsible for without a written occupancy agreement.

See JAG for further assistance.

This is the major advantage of not living on Post.

If you live on base, you have to talk to base housing. If you live off base, it's whatever is in your lease about guests or other tenants. Then you'd talk to your landlord.

Been there, done that, and had the T-shirt stolen as a result. Consider alternatives and I wish you the very best of luck.
