Due to an overall increase in the cost of housing, military Basic Allowance for Housing rates across the country increased an average of 2 percent over last year's rates. Some locations will see an increase of as much as 40 percent (Minot, ND). The national-average increase of 2 percent can be tied to several factors including: local costs for rent, utilities, housing shortages, and local economic pressures. Check out the 2012 BAH rates for your locality.
Learn how these increases will also affect Post-9/11 GI Bill housing stipends.
