Government To Give Soldiers $80. More Per Month For Rent

The basic military housing allowance will rise about 5 percent in 2014. That translates to $80 more for rent each month. Cheryl Anne Woehr is the Pentagon's program manager for the Basic Housing Allowance. She says the higher rates will cost the Pentagon an additional $20 billion next year. Housing allowances vary by pay grade, family situation and location. They are derived from surveys of local housing costs and vacancy rates. Not every place will go up. Rents have fallen in Sacramento, Calif., and Yuma, Ariz. Rates will also drop at Altus Air Force Base, Okla.
