BAH Restoration Act

Bill 119 s 1122, also known as the Basic Allowance for Housing Increase Act, aims to make changes to 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 when they are not living in government-provided housing.

The bill proposes an increase in the BAH to better align with the current housing market and ensure that service members are able to afford suitable housing for themselves and their families. This adjustment is intended to address the rising costs of housing in many parts of the country and help alleviate financial burdens for military personnel.

If passed, this legislation would provide much-needed support to service members by increasing their housing allowance, ultimately improving their quality of life and financial stability. The bill does not appear to have any partisan motivations and is focused solely on addressing the needs of military personnel.
