Wisconsin Court Appointed Special Advocate programs helped 935 children in 2020, according to a report sent to the Joint Committee on Finance this week.
CASA advocates are volunteers who work with the legal and child-welfare system to ensure children under CHIPS orders are safe while they’re involved in the legal process. CASA programs are paid for by the state.
Susan Schwartz, state director of the Wisconsin CASA Association, submitted a report to the JFC on Monday detailing the organization’s work in 2020. The report said nine CASA programs served 935 children in 12 counties in 2020. Schwartz said this was a 6.5% decrease from 2019 because of the pandemic, but a 30% increase from 2017.
