The survey is designed to collect utility/recurring maintenance and move-in expense data incurred by Uniformed Service members stationed overseas, who reside in private housing. Your data assists in determining the Utility/Recurring Maintenance and Move-In Housing Allowance paid to Service members in the country surveyed. If you receive OHA and meet the following qualifications, you should participate in the survey: • Have been stationed in the country, where this survey is being conducted, for at least 3 months • Reside in privately leased quarters (not a homeowner or sharer) • Receive an Overseas Housing AllowanceIf you have participated in previous OHA surveys, the questions will be similar in scope. You will be asked to report the average monthly cost of utilities and any routine maintenance expenses you incurred within the last 12 months for the utility portion of the survey. For the move-in portion of the survey, you will be asked to report actual expenses incurred when moving into your private residence.
