Commissioner Johnson stated we should have a goal as to the number of families we want to provide assistance to. The fact that it's voluntary makes it difficult to require certain things the participants. There is a pot of money and depending on the use, there mayor may not be enought money. There are twelve families currently being served. Chairman Gates asked what they do if there are numerous applicants. Mr. Carter responded there are already a number of people on the waiting list as well as in Garfield County. Mr. Carter reflected they are trying to accorrmodate the wishes of the state.

Should that not be incorporated in the document as well. Mr. Carter responded the contract requirements will vary from person to person and case to case.
