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 Snead State Community College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,947/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,576 |

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.
