Democratic senators ask the Pentagon to intervene as military housing costs continue to surge


Brenden Taylor, a Marine, struggled to find affordable housing near Camp Pendleton in Southern California using his military housing allowance. Rising rental costs have outpaced income growth for many families, including active-duty service members who rely on allowances from the Defense Department. A survey by Blue Star Families found that only 26% of families felt their housing costs were covered by the allowance. Concerned Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee have asked the Defense Department to investigate price hikes driven by landlords using a system offered by RealPage Inc.

Rising housing costs can affect military families’ financial stability and willingness to continue serving. It is crucial to address these challenges to ensure the well-being of military families and maintain a strong national security.
