Wilson Fish TANF Coordination Project

Performance Report Instructions

The Wilson Fish TANF Coordination Project Performance Report will collect data on clients served, resources developed, translations, and trainings; as well as updates to the grantee’s work plan. These forms will be submitted semi-annually on April 30 and October 30. There are two components to the report. Part A is a quantitative report and Part B is a narrative that provides updates on a grantee’s work plan. Part A is a cumulative report; therefore, the second semi-annual report should account for all activities during the grant year. Part B will have a section for narrative updates for each 6-month period. Only report on the sections of Part A which are related to the grantee’s project. If an item or section is not within the grantee’s project scope as written in their proposal or work plan, enter “N/A” for that item and/or section.
