They had set goals and drafted a budget to stabilize the program financially and generate their own income. However, delays in generating income from third-party reimbursements and grants led to a financial shortfall. The director outlines their efforts to secure funding from various sources but acknowledges that some plans were beyond their control. Ultimately, they are requesting assistance from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett to secure the additional funds needed.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
