Competency 5
One problem that I have found while interning at New Horizons is that
since it is non-profit, there is limited income. New Horizons has been
shut down before because the funds were not there to keep the shelter
up and running. This effects service to victims and what all they can
receive. More funding helps to ensure that mandatory items are
available, such as food and a safe place to stay.
