CFLR has been far more diligent in writing grants of 2015.

CFLR has received a reduction in United Way Funding as on 6/30/15.  For 2015 it will amount in 5,500 and for 2016 11,000.  In total the annual funding reduction went from 31,000 to 20,000.  The reason for this reduction is they ran out of money.  Feedback of our services were very positive and met all outcome requirements.  We are working diligently to pursue outside contracts to maintain funding for the program cut and retain the current employee.
