Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA)

The Overseas Housing Program enables military members assigned overseas to privately lease housing on the economy. This program encompasses a reimbursement system designed to partially defray housing costs when on-base or government leased housing is not available. OHA is paid to over 55,000 Service members overseas at a yearly cost of roughly $2 billion.
