For funding, it is the same thing here. One of our shelters has been able to have consistent funding, Main Street Project. They've only recently had to focus on fundraising. Siloam Mission is probably in that same boat. They provide critical services, but they have to reach out. They have to reach out and adjust their mandate to be more than just a shelter. What we've realized now is that you can't just put somebody in a bed for 10 hours and kick them out in the morning. You have to have that continuum of service, even in shelters. They've also become smarter at providing additional supports.
