Would need more info for a complete answer, but in general  In addition to the foreign earned income exclusion, you can also claim an exclusion or a deduction from gross income for your foreign housing amount if your tax home is in a foreign country and you qualify under either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test.

Generally all compensation for services is taxable. That includes housing, home leave, etc. allowances.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
