underresources
Lacks adequate means
Underresources means to provide with insufficient resources—funding, staff, equipment, or support.
The word typically appears as a past participle describing chronic neglect: underresourced schools, underresourced hospitals, an underresourced department struggling to meet demand.
It implies inadequacy imposed from above rather than inherent scarcity.
