Yes! Each assistance category can have a set default "Unit" associated with the category. For example: the "Utility Assistance" category will always default to "Dollars"... or the "Food Pantry" category should always default to "Pounds" or "Boxes/Bags" or "Visits" this can be set at each category under [Admin] tab >> [Categories] sub-tab. 

The list of "Units" can be edited under the [Admin] tab >> click EDIT NETWORK SETTINGS link.
