First base house offered to us

We got offered a house on base last week. It was an old house on base. There are two elementary schools on base. The house would have NOT been in Trevor's school area. So Christina would have to drive Trevor to & from school each day. It was only like 2 miles, but still. Steve signed we would take the house. He started working on the details to move our self and make some money. He called base housing office to tell them we will move our self. They told Steve sorry we ran out money so we have no money to move you right now. It could be October or November till we get more money in. Steve & Christina went to a party on base that Friday night. Many people at party told us the house we signed for had flooding issues. The housing office never told us any of this info. Monday was a holiday. Tuesday Steve was already going to a housing meeting to learn the rules what we can and can't do. Steve told the guy what we heard the house we signed for had flooding issues. He told us we can pass on # 1 house we got offered. And stay in the # 2 slot on base housing list we were at. The people who are # 1 on waiting list we are on live off base too, but they are in a year lease on the house they rented. So they probably won't take a house on base till closer till they lease is up. We are hoping to get offered a base house in the area of Trevor's school. We will have to wait & see.
