Dear Cindy, 

JOSHCO must ensure that the people who occupy our units are earning enough according to our policy.Our mandate is to house those within  the lower income brackets, but we can't take a risk in allocating a person to a unit which according to our criteria and policy would possibly make that person struggle to meet their financial obligations because of it. It is a hard job to refuse accommodation to someone in need, so when we do it is after serious consideration and looking at the various possibilities.
