Summary of results achieved by the recipient

2022-23 focused on the stabilization of existing operations, programs, technologies and levels of service, and to improve the organization structure to ensure adequate support for expansion of services and service areas. As this fund is on a slightly different reporting schedule, with reports generated in June and December, only part of 2022-23 is covered in the fiscal 2021-22 reports. However, they have successfully met most of their goals in early 2022, with less COVID-19 restrictions impacting their data sources and outreach work.
