Activities or mission (Part I)
TO MOBILIZE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ABUSE AND NEGLECT.
-
CASA OF LOS ANGELES SEEKS TO REDUCE AND REVERSE THE EFFECTS OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT, WITH ULTIMATE GOALS OF SAFETY, PERMANENCY, AND WELL-BEING FOR CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER CARE AND JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEMS. THIS YEAR WE HAD 832 VOLUNTEER COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES (CASAS) AND 1004 TOTAL CHILDREN SERVED. CASAS SERVED 888 OF THOSE CHILDREN THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE ADVOCACY BY LEARNING ABOUT THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIVING SITUATIONS, IDENTIFYING NEEDS, AND PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COURT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD. CASA VOLUNTEERS HELP CHILDREN FIND SAFE, PERMANENT HOMES, ENCOURAGE FAMILY VISITATION, AND SUPPORT CHILDREN'S MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH, AND EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. CASAS SERVED 31 UNIQUE CHILDREN THROUGH OUR NEWER ESSENTIAL HISTORY PROGRAM, IN WHICH VOLUNTEERS COMPLETE A DETAILED REVIEW OF A CHILD'S FILE AND WRITE A REPORT OUTLINING THE CHILD'S DEVELOPMENTAL, MEDICAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH HISTORY TO ENSURE CRITICAL DETAILS ARE NOT OVERLOOKED BY THE VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS IN THE CHILD'S CASE. THIS PROGRAM AIMS TO HELP SOCIAL WORKERS, ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES MAKE TRAUMA-INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE THEY SERVE BY PROVIDING THEM WITH A SUMMARY OF THE YOUNG PERSON'S EXPERIENCES AND HISTORY IN CRITICAL AREAS OF LIFE. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH OUR NEWER SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS, OUR STAFF WERE ABLE TO DIRECTLY SUPPORT 85 UNIQUE CHILDREN/YOUTH (55 YOUTH THROUGH OUR EXPECTANT & PARENTING YOUTH PROGRAM, 16 TRANSITIONAL AGED-YOUTH THROUGH OUR PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM, AND 14 YOUTH THROUGH OUR YOUTH JUSTICE PROGRAM).

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
