housing assignment

Dorm room placement

A housing assignment is the allocation of a person or family to a specific dwelling, typically by an institution or authority.

Universities issue housing assignments to place students in dormitories: I got my housing assignment—I'm in the east wing.

The term also applies to military base housing, public housing programs, and refugee resettlement.
