The 2025 military Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) increase refers to the projected adjustment in the monthly housing allowance provided to active-duty military members to offset the cost of off-post housing expenses. This increase is typically determined annually by the Department of Defense (DoD) based on changes in housing market data and cost-of-living adjustments.
BAH rates vary depending on the location and housing market conditions of each military installation. The 2025 BAH increase aims to ensure that service members receive adequate compensation to afford suitable off-post housing that meets their needs and those of their families. Regular adjustments to BAH are crucial to maintain the well-being and readiness of the military force.
