Summary of Bill HR 1956

Bill 119 HR 1956, also known as the Basic Allowance for Housing Increase Act, aims to amend title 37 of the United States Code in order to raise the basic allowance for housing (BAH) for members of the uniformed services who are stationed within the United States. The BAH is a form of compensation provided to service members to assist with housing costs while on active duty.

By increasing the BAH rates, the government would be demonstrating its commitment to supporting the men and women who serve in the uniformed services. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1956 aims to improve the quality of life for service members by ensuring they have access to affordable housing options.
