On Post Vs. Off Post Housing
You will receive less COLA if you live on post than you would if you lived off post. This reduction in COLA reflects your lower living expenses. Overseas Housing Allowance, however, is completely independent from COLA and the amount you receive in COLA will not affect your Overseas Housing Allowance.

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or housing:

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
