2. Outlook of community-based services and
education up to 15 years from now
Fifteen years from now, services will have to be
evaluated and amended to meet the needs of
citizens.
Funding will need to be allocated to serve all
ethnicities, cultures, and locations in the country.
The aging population is increasing, therefore more
government money needs to be allocated for
education and community based services.

3. Key considerations in anticipated
changes
Service needs
Community Participation
Employment
Education
Providers of Services
Agencies that monitor service plans
("The 2014 Federal Home And Community-Based
Services Regulation: What You Need To
Know", 2014).

4. Possible funding scenarios
Applying for federal grants
Providing proposals to companies.
Networking with established
businesses.
Locating people that can be donors.
Fundraisers ("Seeking Future Funding", n.d.).

5. The influences of diversity and
the law.
There are several diverse groups that will be
represented. The groups may be low income,
Hispanic, LBGT, minorities, and the aging
population.
The law can create programs that will address the
needs of each diverse group.
Legislation can create programs that will assist
populations with life-long learning opportunities
that will enhance their lives as well as make them
more productive citizens (Theodori, 2014).

6. Conclusion
The executive, judicial and legislative
branches of government, as well as
the American citizens will need to
continue to collaborate so that
community based and education
programs can continue to thrive in our
society.
