Funding the human services program is a critical piece of program design and development. Human services leaders need to make important decisions about where they will get the funds needed to successfully operate programs. In addition to a funding plan, human services programs need a business plan with a timeline or phases of implementation.

Please respond to the following:

• Briefly discuss where you propose to seek funding resources to initiate your program and sustain its operation. Name at least two private or public funding sources for your program.
• Provide a concise "action plan" to implement your program that articulates priorities, timelines, and accountability. Be sure to discuss contingency plans and the "next steps" needed to implement the program.
• Identify at least two projected outcomes/results for your program. How could the availability of funding resources affect these projected results and the success of your program?
