chosen.

Family Promise currently is having difficulties spending funds from the program
component, Rapid Re -Housing, which assists program participants with fmancial
assistance in obtaining a more permanent residence. This is due to space limitations
of incoming participants. It was discussed that in future years funding be decreased.
