A change to the Canadian Armed Forces housing benefit will see thousands more members partially compensated for housing."I would say that about 80 per cent of the transactions in our office are about military transferees," Pembroke and Petawawa based Re/Max realtor Cynthia Lloyd says.
"The idea is that for their gross monthly salary they are not paying more than 25 per cent of their budget on housing." Regular force, Class B reserves, and Class C reserves on the three lowest levels can claim the benefit. Those members living in Petawawa on level 1 can claim up to $950 a month, level 2 up to $600 a month, and level 3 up to $150 a month.
It’s easy stop letting people into our country!
The new housing benefit hardly helps any caf members, more members will struggle because of it rather than benefit.
