Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

CASES' MISSION IS TO INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH INNOVATIVE SERVICES THAT REDUCE CRIME AND INCARCERATION, IMPROVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PROMOTE RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION, AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS IN THE COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE IN A NEW YORK CITY IN WHICH A PERSON'S PREVIOUS CRIMINAL INVOLVEMENT OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS DO NOT LIMIT THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN THE SUPPORT AND TREATMENT SERVICES THEY NEED TO SUCCEED.

Activities or mission (Part I)

CASES' MISSION IS TO INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH INNOVATIVE SERVICES THAT REDUCE CRIME AND INCARCERATION, IMPROVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PROMOTE RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION, AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS IN THE COMMUNITY.

  • PRETRIAL SERVICES: PRETRIAL SERVICES CONNECTS NEW YORKERS WITH RESOURCES THAT ENABLE THEM TO MEET LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND REMAIN ENGAGED IN THEIR COMMUNITIES WHILE AWAITING THEIR DAY IN COURT. THE MANHATTAN SUPERVISED RELEASE PROGRAM (MSRP) ADMITS PARTICIPANTS FROM THE MANHATTAN CRIMINAL AND SUPREME COURTS. BY OFFERING COMMUNITY-BASED SUPERVISION AND SUPPORT, MSRP PROVIDES AN ALTERNATIVE TO JAIL FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE BE DETAINED. THE PROGRAM HELPS PARTICIPANTS MAINTAIN HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, AND CONTINUITY OF TREATMENT AND SERVICES, WHILE ALSO STAYING CONNECTED TO THEIR FAMILIES DURING THE PROGRESSION OF THEIR CRIMINAL CASES. IN FY25, MSRP ACHIEVED SIGNIFICANT OUTCOMES WITH 6,660 NEW INTAKES, REPRESENTING A 21% INCREASE OVER FY24. A TOTAL OF 7,637 PARTICIPANTS WERE SERVED ACROSS COMMUNITY OFFICES IN MANHATTAN, DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, JAMAICA (QUEENS), AND THE SOUTH BRONX. PRETRIAL SERVICES' KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS DEMONSTRATE STRONG PUBLIC SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE OUTCOMES. THERE WERE 4,289 PARTICIPANTS THAT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED PRETRIAL SERVICES SUPERVISION, 84% OF PARTICIPANTS ATTENDED ALL SCHEDULED COURT APPEARANCES, AND 95% HAD NO NEW REARREST FOR A VIOLENT FELONY CHARGE. THESE RESULTS UNDERSCORE HOW PRETRIAL SERVICES PROTECTS PUBLIC SAFETY WHILE OFFERING PARTICIPANTS MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES TO REMAIN IN THE COMMUNITY.

  • MOBILE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: CASES PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE CARE TO PEOPLE LIVING WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS AND SERIOUS SUBSTANCE USE NEEDS, SUPPORTING THEIR HEALING AND RECOVERY. THIS EXPERTISE IS REFLECTED IN THE WORK OF NINE ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT (ACT) TEAMS AND SEVEN INTENSIVE MOBILE TREATMENT (IMT) TEAMS, WHICH DELIVER MOBILE TREATMENT TO CLIENTS WHOSE NEEDS HAVE NOT BEEN MET BY MORE TRADITIONAL SERVICES. THESE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS - COMPRISING PROFESSIONALS IN PSYCHIATRY, NURSING, SOCIAL WORK, MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, PEER SUPPORT, AND CASE MANAGEMENT - COLLABORATE TO PROVIDE CARE DIRECTLY IN THE COMMUNITY. BY MEETING CLIENTS WHERE THEY ARE, THE TEAMS HELP ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO ACCESSING CARE. IN FY25, THE ACT AND IMT TEAMS SERVED 835 CLIENTS, DELIVERING 47,771 COMMUNITY-BASED TREATMENT SERVICES AND 6,391 TELEHEALTH VISITS TO CLIENTS AND THEIR COLLATERAL CONTACTS.THE ACT TEAMS HAVE A DEMONSTRATED IMPACT IN REDUCING HOMELESSNESS. MANY CLIENTS ENTER ACT EXPERIENCING HIGH RATES OF HOMELESSNESS, BUT THROUGH SUSTAINED ENGAGEMENT, THE TEAMS CONNECT CLIENTS TO STABLE HOUSING. AS A RESULT, HOMELESSNESS DECLINES SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE TIME OF ADMISSION AND CONTINUES TO DECREASE WITH EACH YEAR THAT CLIENTS REMAIN IN TREATMENT. ONE KEY EXAMPLE IS THE MANHATTAN FORENSIC ACT 1 TEAM, WHERE NEARLY HALF OF CLIENTS WERE HOMELESS AT ADMISSION. THROUGH TARGETED INTERVENTIONS, THE TEAM REDUCED THE HOMELESSNESS RATE TO 32% BY YEAR 2 AND FURTHER TO 28% BY YEAR 3, SHOWING SUSTAINED PROGRESS IN PROMOTING HOUSING STABILITY.

IN FY25, NEWSTART CONDUCTED 1,354 INTAKES AND SUPPORTED 58% OF PARTICIPANTS TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THEIR COURT MANDATES, A SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT GIVEN THAT NEARLY HALF OF PARTICIPANTS EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS AT INTAKE. IN 2020, CASES LAUNCHED THE NATHANIEL COMMUNITY SUCCESS (NCS) PROGRAM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO INCARCERATION (ATI) FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AND/OR CO-OCCURRING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. BASED IN CENTRAL HARLEM AND DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, NCS PROVIDES INTENSIVE SERVICES THAT GRADUALLY TAPER AS CLIENTS DEVELOP SKILLS, INDEPENDENCE, AND SUSTAIN LINKAGES TO COMMUNITY-BASED SUPPORTS.

THESE OUTCOMES HIGHLIGHT THE IMPACT AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CASES' ATI PROGRAMS IN SUPPORTING CLIENTS TO MEET LEGAL OBLIGATIONS WHILE ADDRESSING COMPLEX NEEDS, REDUCING INCARCERATION, AND BUILDING PATHWAYS TO KEEP PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEY CAN ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF THEIR CHALLENGES.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
