So I'm coming up on the end of my contract and I've been wondering if my housing allowance should be included in the calculation of my severance pay. I've talked to a few people who work in the same district as me and they said they didn't receive it when they collected their severance when they renewed their contract. However, I thought I remember reading here on the forum that it is supposed to be included.

No, the severence only encompasses wage/salary income. The housing allowance is an allowance, not a wage, it is a different type of renumeration.

Read the part in your contract that mentions severence, that should clarify what would be paid out, usually it states one months SALARY or WAGE.
