Here's why.
Aid to Military Families, Immigration Assistance, and Parenting Training were both new programs. Without additional dollars, the volunteers felt they could not add new programs at the expense of current ones. They wanted to show support for our military families, however, so they shifted some dollars from Disaster Response, which is provided by the same Partner Agency. The rest of the areas were funded as close to the same level as the prior year as possible.
