Fort Drum Mountain Community Homes
Fort Drum Mountain Community Homes (FDMCH) is made up of four neighborhoods for service members and famlies and an apartment complex dedicated to single and unaccompanied soldiers. Since 2005, FDMCH, a 50-year partnership between the U.S. Army and Lendlease, has been dedicated to providing quality homes and community resources our service members and families both desire and deserve.
