Combining financing sources would be ideal for
the proposed community preventive program in the mock community case study. The
community's isolation and the intricacy of the socioeconomic concerns suggest
that a combination of federal grants, state financing, and private cash would
be helpful. Federal grants can give major financial support and resources,
while state funds offer more regional flexibility to address unique community
needs. Particularly in initiatives that are considerate of culture, private
money can supplement these sources by providing extra resources and filling any
gaps left by prospective governmental funding cuts.
