HERNDON, Va., Dec. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the Department of Defense’s recent release of the 2018 Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates, meant to offset housing costs for military families, service members across the U.S. are factoring in how their allowance will affect their budget. In response, Lincoln Military Housing, a leader in military housing nationwide, has released an educational infographic outlining the basics of BAH and how to make the most out of this resource.
The infographic, Military Allowance: Understanding BAH, offers key facts about this government subsidy, including how it’s calculated and what it typically covers. While the rates are meant to cover the majority of housing costs (96% in 2018), many military members and their families find that their BAH doesn’t adequately cover their needs, especially in larger metro areas.
As showcased in the infographic, Lincoln Military Housing stands out by assuring service members their 2018 BAH will cover their entire rent, along with normal utilities, renters insurance, and other amenities. While off-base properties may increase rent after the initial lease expires, leading to additional monthly costs, families that live in Lincoln Military Housing properties are protected from this.
