Impact

Every year more than a half million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. In the ten minutes it takes you to read this website, a report of child abuse or neglect has been made. At the close of today, an average of four children will have died due to maltreatment. In 2006, Michigan alone saw 18,655 cases of abuse and neglect; 16,599 children of which were placed in out-of-home care.

And in 2009 funding was available to serve just 203 of the over 800 children in need of CASA services.
