Situation #2

You help an individual formulate his budget during his person-centered planning session. You use the HAC worksheets to determine his monthly income and expenses, and available cash and assets. You move on to discuss his housing wants and needs, and create his Housing Checklist. Even though he is aware of his budget, he lists several features he wants in a home that you realize he cannot afford.
