Smithwick feared that the prohibition would eventually cost Sunrise its eligibility for state and federal funding, which Smithwick estimated to comprise approximately 85% of its $27 million budget.

In 2018, Clark County resident Judy Huls Singleton agreed to donate her farm to Sunrise, which planned to open the Solid Rock Children's Ranch on the property.
