As another said it wouldn't hurt to ask. But odds that you would get housing are slim to none. The military doesn't see any real reason to provide a provision for this type of situation.
If your husband is in VA, especially if its northern VA your husband is obviously close enough to come home on weekends here and there. Now this can make sense if you have a great job or something. But it is not the usual situation.
Base housing is usually on a wait list. It costs time, money and paperwork to move you in to housing. So of course the people who are going to get it is families that are going to be stationed there for a couple of years.
Most people are not going to stay apart for an extended period of time regardless of the commute. Eventually it will get old and you will want to maybe move closer. Or say you are just going to deal with it for one more year....... but at the end of that year he could be stationed in Omaha. Maybe he is hoping for Dover but there is no gaurantee. If he is planning on getting out you would be staying where you are of course. When it's a job thing most families realize it's better to be together rather than have a bit of extra cash. Plus people realize that it won't be that big of cut...... if you are living on base there is day care, saving on gas, car insurance lowers, and all sorts of ways to save all sorts of money.
So statistically for these and many other reasons it is better for the military to deny housing if it's just the wife and children. They want families to be together and have the whole family to be part of the community. The military encourages family togetherness. Plus they don't want people stressing about being away from family or commuting. Couples eventually themselves realize that socially and so in turn career wise it is best to just get housing where the husband is stationed. Having your family about can open many doors.
Sorry I rambled but I meant it so you might think of a few things. You may have your reasons and if you are making $80,000 a year where you are great. So when they say no you know why.....

No. Housing, be it on base or the amount paid for off base housing, is determined by where the military member is located. You must be with the military sponser to qualify for and live in base housing. The only time you can occupy base housing without his presence is due to deployment.
I am curious as to why you are staying in DE? While it does happen..finishing school, good job, etc...it is not the norm. Usually, the cost of maintaining two seperate homes (because if he lives in the dorm or on base, then he gets no housing money) is too much for the situation to last very long.
And you can't get seperation pay if the seperation is voluntary. Seperation pay only applies if you are seperated because of TDY or deployment that keeps the military member from being able to go home for more than 30 days.. Choosing to live in another state when housing is available will not qualify, especially if he is coming home on weekends.

until he is going to advance for a three years on board and is a minimum of an E4 he can not replace his orders besides from unaccompanied to observed. She could undergo an distant places screening the two scientific & dental and it must be granted. Now if he had observed orders and she or he chosen to no longer circulate he would nevertheless could be there 3 years and would possibly no longer qualify for BAH or family contributors Separation in any respect. there is not any BAH in Japan it is named OHA and is merely based on the lease it is paid in a apartment settlement it is approved. If he's in barracks or on the deliver then he would not get it. He can get BAH in accordance together with her zip code which he will could deliver her on allotment if that's what he needs to do. He would additionally qualify for family contributors Separation of $250 in step with month after he has been long previous longer than 30 days. Now if she would be able to circulate then she is lacking an incredible possibility. The bases, the technique of existence, a brilliant gamble of an entire life.

The simple answer is no. With the way things are going at the bases, though, you may be able to get in through the privatization of the housing. If there are available units, and the occupancy falls below a certain level, you may be able to get on base housing. Go over to the Housing Referral Office and talk with them and see if they are able to help you out.
The worst they can say is "No".

You can get base housing on the base he is stationed at.

No, because base housing is for him and his family, if he doesn't live there (or isn't stationed there), you can't get base housing there. The base housing is for people who are stationed on that base.

No. He is getting an extra allowance in his pay to pay for your housing.
