Currently, just for 2017, the applications that we have are going to involve three areas, one is going to involve a therapeutic equestrian program for individuals with special needs, another one is going to offer athletic scholarships for individuals who want to be involved in the City of Milton programming, and the other one is going to involve a program that focuses on our senior population for individuals who get out of the hospital and do not have access to proper care.
