Yes, his plan was to buy the Branchland house so Chris wouldn't ever be homeless. He'd have to keep drawing commissions and just be responsible (lol) to finance himself but, yes, it's true. In the event that Barb died, Chris wouldn't have to worry about homelessness.
I'm unable to find the exact thread he made the post talking about this though, hope it wasn't deleted, it wasn't really that much ago.
Thing is, again, this was before the rape but it's kinda likely he's still gonna help the guy when he gets out so it's a possiblity that Chris could keep the house in a near future. Barb gets to fade into oblivion and Chris gets rewarded.
