The Department of Defense has released the 2016 Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates. Basic Allowance for Housing rates will increase an average of 3.4 percent when the new rates take effect Jan. 1. On average, Basic Allowance for Housing rates will increase approximately $54 per month. An integral part of the Basic Allowance for Housing program is the provision of individual rate protection to all members. No matter what happens to measured housing costs, an individual member who maintains uninterrupted Basic Allowance for Housing eligibility in a given location will not see his/her Basic Allowance for Housing rate decrease.
