Military families would get housing help faster and permanently.
This bill would make it easier for military leaders to temporarily increase housing payments for service members and their families. It would lower the required increase in local housing costs from 20% to 15% before an adjustment can be made. This change would also make the power to adjust housing allowances permanent, helping military families deal with sudden housing cost increases.
Currently, the Secretary of Defense can only make temporary housing allowance adjustments if local housing costs increase by at least 20%, and this authority might have had an expiration date. After this bill, the Secretary would be able to make these temporary adjustments if costs rise by 15%, and this ability would be permanent.
