If you have not already done so elsewhere on this form, you may want to report on systems-level changes, community collaboration, the removal or reduction of barriers and challenges for victims/survivors, use of volunteers and/or interns to complete activities, promising practices, and positive or negative unintended consequences.)

(If you have any information that could be helpful in understanding the data you have submitted in this report, please answer this question. For example, if you submitted two different progress reports for the same reporting period, you may explain how the data was apportioned to each report; or if you funded staff—e.g., victim advocates, law enforcement officers, etc.-- but did not report any corresponding victim services or law enforcement activities, you may explain why; or if you did not use program funds to support either staff or activities during the reporting period, please explain how program funds were used, if you have not already done so.)
