Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Clatsop Community College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$15,750
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,133/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$17,064
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$1,314

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Clatsop Community College estimates these costs at about $1,800, leaving about $800 out of pocket.
