Application Glossary
Number Served: This number is the total number of people served with each person being counted only one time. Ex. Jane Doe and her two children come to organization X on February 18. On that day they receive xyz services. They are counted as 3 people served. They return for abc services on March 19. They are not counted in the total # served again on their second visit. (This information is requested on page 3.)
Units of Service: This number accounts for each service provided to each person served. This number will be higher than the total number served. Ex. Jane Doe family from above received 3 units of service their first visit and three units their second. This is a total of six units of service. (This is requested on page 3.)
