Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Jon Ossoff (D-GA) introduced the bipartisan Military Housing Affordability Act. The legislation would grant a two-year extension to the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) authority to temporarily adjust the basic allowance for housing (BAH) rates for servicemembers living in higher-cost areas.
Specifically, the legislation would extend DoD’s authority to raise BAH payments for any military housing area where the cost of adequate housing differs more than 20 percent from the current BAH rate, or where a federal disaster declaration is issued. The DoD’s current authority expires on September 30, 2022.
“The men and women who dedicate their lives to serve our country should not have to worry about being unable to afford a decent home for their families,” Rubio said. “This bipartisan bill would help military families suffering from inflation, supply chain issues, or natural disasters continue to access affordable housing.”
“Many Georgia military families have asked me to help with the high cost of housing,” Ossoff said. “That’s why I’ve introduced this bipartisan bill to help them so that servicemembers, their spouses, and their kids are secured in safe, affordable housing.”
RUBIO Y OSSOFF PRESENTAN LEGISLACIÓN PARA AYUDAR A QUE LAS FAMILIAS MILITARES PUEDAN ACCEDER A VIVIENDA ASEQUIBLE
Washington, D.C. — Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Jon Ossoff (D-GA), presentaron una legislación bipartidista La Ley de Asequibilidad de Vivienda Militar. Este proyecto de ley, le otorgaría una extensión de dos años a la autoridad del Departamento de Defensa de EE.UU. (DoD, por sus siglas en inglés) de ajustar temporalmente las tarifas de asignación básica para vivienda (BAH, por sus siglas en inglés) para miembros de las fuerzas armadas que viven en áreas de mayor costo.
Específicamente, el proyecto de ley bipartidista extendería la potestad del Departamento de Defensa de poder aumentar los pagos de BAH para cualquier área de vivienda militar donde el costo de una vivienda adecuada difiera en más del 20 por ciento de la tarifa BAH actual, o donde se haya emitido una declaración federal por un desastre natural. La autoridad actual del Departamento de Defensa vence el 30 de septiembre del 2022.
“Los hombres y mujeres que dedican sus vidas a servir a nuestro país no deberían tener que preocuparse por poder pagar un hogar digno para sus familias”, Rubio dijo. “Este proyecto de ley bipartidista ayudaría a las familias militares que sufren por culpa de la inflación actual, la crisis en la cadena de suministros o también por culpa de desastres naturales a seguir accediendo a viviendas asequibles”.
