I think what’s good about having FHBC and HBP in the same place is that you don’t have to go far.  It’s a good location too because I live right across the street, so wehen I come to my appointment I can see my caseworker also.  I like coming here because I like the people here here.  I they are always able to help me out whenever I need something.  I’m not the only person they help out because they help out everybody.
