First, the pandemic demand and need for community services is staying at record highs. We have a gap between the revenues and the capacity of organizations and their ability to deliver. What does that tell us? What that tells us is that we've had some great programs up to this point, but a lot of them are expiring and the need is still there.
My fourth point was really about this need for a community services COVID relief fund, a program that will actually fill that gap. The gap is about people not being able to get access to the services they need because the infrastructure for these services is stretched and the gap between the capacity and the demand has grown.
That community services COVID relief fund would be a combination of operating support to fill that gap, and I think it's really important for us to also invest in the future. Our community services operate on very thin margins. They don't build reserves. They put their dollars and efforts right into the community. They don't have the capacity to invest in technology and change. The pandemic is all about identifying the change in innovation, so how do we actually bring that into the future?
That would be my request, my ask, and I think it would go a long way towards supporting communities.
