Due to the growing economy and Hurricane Katrina, housing costs are rising. Contact the Base Housing Office to determine your basic allowance for housing (BAH) amount. It is a good idea to schedule an appointment with the Personal Financial Management Counselor at the Fleet and Family Support Center to develop a budget and/or project what you can afford in "off base" housing before making a financial commitment. Basic Allowance Housing was increased in 2005 to help compensate the cost of living off base, however expect to still have out of pocket expenses.
