Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve a grant from the Legacy Foundation for the A CASA For Every Child program in the amount of $2,000 effective September 16, 2016 through June 30, 2017.
Background:
This grant will support a special marketing outreach to increase the supply of trained CASA volunteers. The role of the volunteers is to speak for the best interest of children in dependency proceedings. Our goal is to have a volunteer for every child, as we currently serve only 23% of the children.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Utilize funds as set forth by the grant.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
These funds have already been received and deposited. We would be unable to do the work and would need to return the funds.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please notify the Court Administrator once approved.
