Can BAH be used for a mortgage payment in my hometown?


I'm going to be a new military spouse in a few months and I have A LOT to learn. I'm still confused about it all. We have a baby on the way and we both think it's best if I live near my family since they want to be involved and can help out a lot since I'm working on my master's degree. Can we buy a home here even though he won't be living with me?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Like I said, this is all completely new to me.
Added (1). We're still waiting to find out. I'm not worried about paying for two households. I work part time along with school & just my income is enough to cover our expenses right now. Of course I know I'll have to cut down on hours once the baby comes, but financially we can do it. I was just wondering if it was possible to use BAH for a mortgage in a different state than where he is.
