Thank you for the question.
I was actually referring to exactly what you've said. During the recession many people lost their jobs and their houses. The people who are the working poor, who live, work and operate their daily lives on a very fine line, fell over that line and had to turn to places like the food banks, the homeless shelters, and to many of those services they have never had to rely on before. So those organizations were really strapped, on the one hand, by an increased demand for service and, on the other hand, by a reduction in the amount of donations, the philanthropic revenue they had been getting, because their donors were also hurting.
It created a real crunch for organizations being able to deliver services, and that has continued.
