I have all of the rest of the country that has now applied for this. So I now need to hire people to go through the screening process, because I have gotten more requests for dollars than what I have funds for. So I now need to go through and say, you qualify, you qualify, you qualify, you do not, you do not; I am sorry.

You now get some programs so I now notify you that you have won the award, you get the money and you are getting a check. What do you do next?”
