SEMI-ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR
Grants to Support Families in the Justice System
Brief Instructions: This form must be completed for each Grants to Support Families in the Justice System
Program (Justice for Families Program) grant received. A grant administrator or coordinator must ensure that
the form is completed fully with regard to all grant-funded activities. Grant partners, however, may complete
sections relevant to their portion of the grant. Grant administrators and coordinators are responsible for
compiling and submitting a single report that reflects all information collected from grant partners.
Following are some guidelines regarding which sections of the form must be completed by Justice for
Families Program grantees:
• All grantees must complete sections B and H and subsections A1 and C3.
• In sections D, E, F, G, and subsections A2, C1, C2, C4, and C5, grantees must answer an initial
question in each section or subsection about whether they engaged in certain activities during the
current reporting period. If the response is yes, then the grantee must complete that subsection. If
the response is no, the rest of the subsection is skipped.
For example,
1. If you are a court and used funds to establish a specialized civil protection order docket and to provide
training to your court staff, you will complete sections A, B, C1, C3, D2, D4, D8, and H.
2. If you are a supervised visitation/exchange center providing services to families with staff funded
under this grant, you would complete sections A, B, C3, E, and H every reporting period and section G1
during the July to December reporting period only.
3. If you are a legal services organization providing legal services with staff funded under this grant, you
would complete sections A, B, C3, F, and H every reporting period and section G2 during the July to
December reporting period only.
The activities of volunteers or interns should be reported if they were coordinated or supervised by Justice
for Families Program- funded staff or if Justice for Families Program funds substantially supported their
activities.
For further information on filling out this form, refer to the separate instructions, which contain detailed
definitions and examples illustrating how questions should be answered.

Throughout this form, the term sexual assault means any nonconsensual sexual act proscribed by
Federal, tribal, or State law, including when the victim lacks capacity to consent. The term domestic
violence applies to any pattern of coercive behavior that is used by one person to gain power and
control over a current or former intimate partner or dating partner. The term dating violence is
defined as violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or
intimate nature with the victim. Stalking is defined as a course of conduct directed at a specific person
that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others, or suffer
substantial emotional distress. Child sexual abuse includes sexual assaults committed against children
under the age of 13. (See separate instructions for more complete definitions.)

(Report the following to the best of your ability, as an unduplicated count for each category during

services during the current reporting period should be counted only once in that reporting period,
based on the victim/survivor’s presenting victimization, meaning the victimization for which services
were first requested. For purposes of this question, victims/survivors are those against whom the
sexual assault, domestic violence/dating violence, stalking and/or child sexual abuse was directed. If
the victim/survivor experienced more than one victimization, that person should be counted only once
for the presenting victimization. Do not report secondary victims here.)

families and increasing offender accountability?

and challenges and barriers unique to your court, your court system, or your jurisdiction.)
83. What has Justice for Families Program funding allowed you to do that you could not do prior to
receiving this funding?
(For example, funding has enabled your Justice for Families Program-funded court to exchange case
information between criminal, civil, and family divisions of your courts in cases involving domestic
violence, resulting in fewer conflicting orders, and improved victim safety and offender accountability;
it has contributed to fewer continuances, a reduction in the number of hearings to reach resolution of
family matters, or in fewer motions for contempt and motions to modify court orders in cases involving
domestic violence.)
