The committee includes language in our report directing the system to reduce the number of complexes. The increased funding is to be used to address staffing shortfalls, and the committee does not view the use of complexes as a sufficient means for managing refuges. These complexes move the staff too far from the communities and resources that they serve, and we have asked that the number of complexes be reduced to the maximum extent possible.
