The Overseas Housing program enables service members assigned overseas to privately lease housing on the economy. This program is a reimbursement system that takes into consideration the amount service members spend on rent, utilities and associated move-in costs.

Overseas Housing Allowance is only available to service members on active status. Retired Air National Guard Service members are not eligible.
