The way the funding is right now, many of our financial administrators will tell you that before we sign on the bottom line for any kind of program, contribution agreement, or anything, they'll predict already that we're going to be falling short. There is a policy out there that says it's own-source revenue, where we have to come up with our own moneys. That's why business opportunities are so important. That is why we have to make sure our businesses have to be healthy and strong, so that we supplement the funding that we need and many of the community needs that we have out there. We have to have thriving economies, but that's been a struggle as well for many of our communities.
A lot of times when we see priorities, families in crisis because of funerals and things like that, those take precedence over the basic needs of children for recreation and things like that. So that's what I keep harping on--priorities. As I said, children will come, but a lot of the time the priorities are unfortunately elsewhere for community leaders like me, like housing—and speakers have mentioned our overcrowded housing.
