Mandatory MFRC Reporting Stats for Use of Veteran Family Program Funds
NB for MFRC Non-Pilot Locations: As a non-pilot location, you will likely only need to complete those sections related to transitioning members (see definition below). The tables associated with transitioning members have been designated in blue shading.
1. How many Veteran Family Program (VFP) clients accessed MFRC Services?
a. Total # VFP Clients Served by MFRC. This shows the total # of clients using the services.
Guidance:
Compiling the access to various MFRC services will help us identify specific programs that medically released veterans and their families need to transition to civilian community successfully. As closely as possible, please provide the total number of Veterans and family members served (including for welcome packages, referrals, workshops and all other VFP services).
Note that this question includes those clients with whom you as VFC have had direct client contact (via telephone, email or in-person) and those VFP clients who accessed other MFRC services and with whom you may not have had direct client contact. Some VFCs choose to send out a weekly email to staff, asking how many VFP clients they have assisted in the past week, in order to obtain such stats.
“Total # clients” refers to the total # of VFMs served in the reporting month. A child is 0-9 years, while a youth is 10-17 years; an adult military child (18+ years) is under “other”.
“New clients” refers to a VFM with whom you have had your first contact in the reporting month or a client who has previously been closed and is re-opened in that month.
“Total # contacts” refers to the number of substantivei VFM contacts. The reason is that the # contacts show the burden of effort for Coordinators (e.g.: one client may contact you numerous times in one month).
“Outside of the VFP” refers to those family members or MRV who are more than 2 years post-release.
“Transitioning members” refers to those MRVs who are in the middle of the release process.

Guidance:
Please, DO NOT include numbers from previous tables in this section. This section is for any additional outreach, briefings, and partnerships that do not fall into the categories in the tables above. Outreach includes VFC reaching out to new stakeholders to recruit their help in assisting VFMs (who are NOT part of your current stakeholder registry nor to whom you refer regularly). For those stakeholders who are part of your stakeholder registry and to whom you refer regularly, please include them in “Info and Referral” above. Your connection with other local organization to better assist VFMs. For instance, if you make a first contact with the Legion to assist a VFM, then it would count as 1 stakeholder (with whom you might have numerous contacts in one month) and you should state the reason for the outreach below (e.g.: assisting with homeless VFM). This table is used for military SCAN seminars.

Please attach any evaluations from the training sessions to evaluate if the training helped in the transition within the civilian community.

5. # Staff hours dedicated to the program.
Guidance:Compilation of remunerated staff hours and non-remunerated staff hours (including stat holidays and vacation paid for by VFP funds) will identify extra time and funds spent towards the VFP that are from MFS budget and not from current VAC allocated budget.
This is a standard measure used by Public Works, Charity Navigator, Donner Fdn, etc.
Program hours are defined as hours spent on the delivery of VFP programs, which includes: program planning, program delivery and program evaluation. It does not include administrative activities (e.g.: meetings not related to planning/delivery, accounting/auditing, insurance, office management, human resources and other centralized services) or fundraising activities.
E.g.: Program hours for an Employment Coordinator might include hours spent on individual employment counselling, review of skills and experience, meeting with prospective employers but would not include general meetings not directly related to employment counselling, such as meetings about MFRC administration, workplace health and safety, etc.
Tracy Cromwell at Mainland BC does the following: “Once a year—at most twice a year—I meet with staff and we determine their allocation of time. For example, my program and volunteer manger allocates her time (approximately) as follows: 15% administrative duties (supervision for others plus her own administrative tasks time sheets etc); 55% programming; 30% volunteer duties. When I prepare reports, rather than having her track what she's doing each and every hour, I use a percentage of her total hours in the time covered by the report. It's not exact, but I'm satisfied, this gives me a good representation of what's happening.”
“Total VFC staffing hours spent on duties outside of the VFP” is included as some VFCs may continue to assist with MFRC duties that fall outside of the VFP. This is very important data for all to have, as it may

i A substantive contact is contact in which a good deal of information shared (e.g.: a community orientation briefing with a group of family members) versus a “fleeting contact” (e.g.: phone call that simply redirected caller to other service or only provided contact address). Substantive contacts tend to one-on-one. For example, a “conversation” with a client via email about services would be a substantive contact where a group/listserv email to many clients about general information would not be substantive.
More impact-focused and accurate statistics (to include in your total # of contacts) tend to be those which are substantive (a good deal of information shared), have a registration list, in which you can identify individual participants.
Here are some examples of those statistics to include:
o # family contacts for community orientation briefings/information sessionso # family contacts during registration in children/teen workshopso # family contacts through education/employment/parenting workshopso # family contacts for Emergency/Emergency Respite/Casualty Support Child Careo # family contacts during outreach/personal growth and development
Less impact-focused and accurate statistics (to avoid including in your total # VF contacts) tend to be those which are large, less substantive (not very much information shared or a brief interaction), no registration list, in which individuals cannot be accurately identified.
Here are some examples of those statistics which you should avoid including:
o # family contacts during special/social eventso # family contacts via calls/emails to MFRCo # family contacts in special workshops/events/activities
# family contacts for general info and referral services
