- Service members' housing pay change: mixed, high. If enacted, your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for U.S. areas would match the local cost of adequate housing. The Secretary of Defense would set amounts by pay grade and by dependency status. This could raise BAH for some members and lower it for others depending on local housing costs.
