Haley states that the home is stable due to the fact that she has lived in the home for an extended period of time and only departed the home for a couple of weeks due to utilities being unpaid and shut off. Currently, Haley has allowed a friend and her friend’s child to live in the current home with her to assist her with paying the household bills.
