MONEY – THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND
IT…..
Housing does cost money and income does have an influence on where
individuals choose to live and where parents choose to have their children
live.
The various housing options just shown involve various costs, generally if
an individual is on SSI the receive
and
$831 (if in foster care)

Always, but especially in these economic times this
money can impact choices for consumers if families are
