2025 BAH Increase for Military Families

Posted By: Maria Curtis ARTICLES, NEWS ARTICLES,

The Department of Defense has announced a 5.4% average increase in Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates, starting January 1, 2025! This adjustment reflects the latest trends in rental markets across 299 military housing areas, ensuring that service members receive fair compensation for their housing needs.

With $29.2 billion allocated for 2025, this increase will benefit approximately one million service members—helping to secure stability and well-being for military families.

While BAH rates rise nationwide, adjustments will vary based on local rental market conditions, ensuring that all service members are supported where they live. This important change underscores the ongoing commitment to providing reliable housing for those who serve our country.

How does this affect you?

The 2025 BAH increase means military tenants will have more funds to cover rent, making it easier to fill vacancies and secure reliable income for your property. This boost in demand encourages steady occupancy and supports property improvements, benefiting both landlords and military families.
