Rental Housing Pool for Embassies

This question is probably unique to Washington DC property, but I recently found out that our Foreign Service, as well as Foreign Service for many countries, rent homes for diplomat and staff to use from the local housing market.  
I have a home in DC that may be vacant pretty soon and was interested in finding out how to submit my home for embassy housing pool usage.  I've search around the internet a little for information but haven't found anything but information about our own FS, but nothing that tells me how to submit my home for use by countries who have embassies located in DC.

They look for housing for diplomats the same way everyone else does, on the MLS and Zillow. Most embassy workers rent in NW in the western parts of DC from Georgetown to the palisades, Chevy Chase, Tenleytown, Bethesda and Potomac. Some, but certainly less end up in Arlington and Mclean. We've had multiple embassy worker tenants through the years.
