The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at University of Northwestern Ohio.

| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,569/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,552 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,131 |
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.
