Housing Allowance

Housing allowance is financial support provided by an employer, government, or organization to help cover the cost of housing. It aims to assist employees or recipients in affording rent, mortgage, or accommodation expenses, often as part of a compensation package or social benefit. The allowance may be a fixed amount or calculated based on housing costs, and it can be taxable or non-taxable depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances. Its purpose is to ease the financial burden of housing, making it more affordable and ensuring stable living arrangements.
