BAH is an allowance to offset the cost of housing when you do not
receive government-provided housing. Your BAH depends upon your location, pay
grade and whether you have dependents. BAH rates are set by surveying the cost
of rental properties in each geographic location. The rates are established such
that members in each pay grade, independent of location, pay approximately the
same out-of-pocket costs. Therefore, BAH rates in high-cost areas will be much
greater than those in low-cost areas.
At PNS there
are 268 family housing units consisting of 68 officer and 200
Enlisted. Housing is open to all military
personnel.
(NAVYONESTOP.COM)- For all you BAH rates and other housing
