Section 10. Outcome of One-on-One Counseling Services - This section is used to report the outcome of the housing counseling services reported in Section 9. In Section 10, select as many outcomes that apply to the households counseled during the reporting period. The total number of outcomes reported in Section 10 does not need to add up to the totals reported in any other sections of this form, and the Section 10 total may be higher than the totals in other sections based on the outcome and scope of the counseling services provided. It is not expected or required that there be a reportable outcome related to each household reported in Section 9 as receiving housing counseling services. For example, a household may not experience any of the outcomes listed in Section 10 or the household may not respond to follow-up attempts to determine if any of the listed outcomes are applicable. However, for some households there may be multiple outcomes. For example, after receiving housing counseling services, a household may have developed a household budget (10c), gained access to resources to help improve the household’s housing situation (10e), and prevented eviction (10k). In that case, the household should be reported in all three impact categories.
