Four principal areas of concern emerged from these discussions, detailed in this report. They include: 1) greater access to resources to fund Homeland Security programs and projects at the community level, 2) greater access to practical information about application, eligibility, recruitment, retention, and other concerns, 3) the need for innovative and effective programming ideas, and 4) the need to focus on diverse and “special needs” populations.
