Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Central State University.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$11,390
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,659/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$13,272

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Central State University estimates these costs at about $1,200, leaving about $200 out of pocket.
