The payment is for expenses of the house and can be paid
from either source.

If a member of the clergy owns a home together with his
spouse (not a clergy) who works outside of the church, in
calculating the yearly housing allowance, must he reduce the
amount of the housing allowance to factor in his spouse's
share of supporting the home? They share the same bank
account and all housing expenses are paid from this account.
That is, there is no explicit division as to which housing
expenses are paid by which person.

Thanks
