We geared our programs and the amount of dollars that were allocated to each program. A lot of that was based on the money we were getting from the federal government and because that money is not there, then obviously we’ll have to pull back a bit and go back to our historical figures. We use the CARE, the home repair, for example. Because of the investment the federal government has made, we’ve been able to add resource into that particular program. Now that the investment is done, it’s sunsetted, then we go back to our historical figures and we feel that we’ve been able to make some gains in the last few years with the amount of money that we’ve been putting into a lot of these programs. Our programs were geared to the amount of money we received and now that all that’s sunsetted, we’re back to our historical levels. We still feel that we’ll be able to provide programs not on the scale that we’ve seen in the last few years but we’ll still be able to provide programs.
