Priority 1 funding
 

I understand this will give priority 1 another chance to receive funding but where would that leave the priority 2 and 3 applicants? Would they have an even smaller chance at receiving funding? I don't feel this is fair from what I am reading. My son is a priority 2 applicant and we were denied last year. Hoping to receive funding this year with this change will seem almost impossible. I see how this will be a benefit for priority 1 l, but I feel it is pushing priority 2 and 3 further back from funding we desperately need and will still be denied.
