Multiple Assistance Center Woes

RE-reading the article above, Ice pointed out the problem: "We have three organizations with different thoughts that do not want to lose their anonomity.

This especially applies to the Rescue Mission Ice operates. "When this project first started, there were differences between these organizations regarding funding and who should do what. It seems now, when one is about to go down, they give the impression of support, but yet are concerned about individual powers.

If they think about it, the 16 individuals will be going where for assistance? St. Vincent DePaul or Eureka Mission, or both. This is going to increase their problems. Who will pick up the slack in their budgets?

The Mac's future hinges on the RCAA being able to reorganize its budget. Here is another part of the problem, and this is going to be very difficult for them to overcome. For they can not only look at financial responsibility for the MAC as a single entity.

They must be able to look at the overall structure of RCAA. This may mean, Department heads wearing more than one hat of responsibility, as well as better time management towards the operation of new duties, as well as duties currently in possession of that need to be turned over to others.

No matter, RCAA and the MAC has to look outside of the box, as well as look within their own box to create new ways of doing things - Some of the new ways of business may be just doing what worked in the past and are currently working for others outside of the area.

Also, no matter how faith driven they are, in the present world money and resources are tight individually. Not working in following strong traditional structures will demonstrate more towards survival than standing on old ways of doing things (I am not saying forget your faith, but create an avenue for sharing your faith, as well as accomplishing common goals.).

As one, these organizations will not be self-supported; but as a combined effort, I believe they could stand stronger for future work needed.
