As the president of an AHC that built a new house last year, I'm not worried. Back in the day, I lived in for 3 years and our chapter size closely matched the bed number...that was much more worrisome than the current situation where we have many live-outs who pay parlor fees and support the house. If chapter numbers got low, the HCBs faced big trouble meeting costs. Now, with RFM and the trend toward more live-outs, a "doomsday" scenario is less likely. It is sad that many women won't have a chance to live in, but it is also safer from a financial perspective.
If anything, this could make Indiana move away from bed quota...the live-out parlor fees really do help the budget and support the upgrades.
