I'm going to try to address the question, because I'm a bit confused on what the Member is asking. So, yes, affordability can still maintain someone in core need because, again, we don't have control over our market rents. So, even if someone has a great-paying job, there can still be affordability issues in the market housing that is available. Now, if somebody chooses to live in a house that is above their means, that's a personal choice. But, as when it comes to normal market rents, there still will be affordability issues with people that work in the lower-income positions.
