Federal funds are not being directed towards activities that are addressing family and community needs. Margo pointed out that a lot of the needs around literacy are not solely founded on workplace and employability. There are needs connected to people's access to health. There are needs connected to citizenship. There are needs connected to people's ability to participate in society, new technologies today, the way in which we've structured our activities, including government programs. There are an amazing number of government services today where you are told to go to the website. You get a message that says that if you want more information, go to the website. Well, if people don't have the technological capacity to do that, they are excluded, so there's a lot of exclusion.
If you are no longer directing any of your funds towards the needs of family or community, it means that all of these needs are going unmet except for whatever happens to be met through other sources. An awful lot of people's time—again, in the organizations that we spoke to—was spent trying to raise small amounts of funds. They could be using 50% or more of their time in trying to find money to do the activities they need to do to fulfill the community needs.
