CFR'S MISSION IS TO GUARANTEE THAT EVERY FAMILY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE SAFELY TOGETHER.
INTERDISCIPLINARY FAMILY DEFENSE TEAMS: OUR MISSION IS TO HELP FAMILIES RAISE THEIR CHILDREN SAFELY AND PREVENT OR MINIMIZE THE TIME ANY CHILD SPENDS IN FOSTER CARE. WE DEFEND 3000 PARENTS ANNUALLY AND HAVE DEFENDED NEARLY 109,000 PARENTS SINCE 2002, AGAINST CHARGES OF NEGLECT OR ABUSE IN MANHATTAN AND QUEENS FAMILY COURTS. OUR SUCCESSFUL MODEL COMBINES AN ATTORNEY, A SOCIAL WORKER, AND A PARENT ADVOCATE- SYSTEM IMPACTED PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR CHILDREN TO FOSTER CARE AND REUNIFIED THEIR FAMILIES. BY COMBINING LEGAL AND SOCIAL WORK ADVOCACY WITH PARENT MENTORING, WE CONSISTENTLY KEEP HALF OUR CLIENTS' CHILDREN OUT OF CARE AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE FOSTER CARE STAYS. WE SAVE MILLIONS IN TAX DOLLARS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY PERMIT CHILDREN TO GROW UP IN THEIR OWN FAMILIES.
HOME FOR GOOD: CFR FAMILIES OFTEN FACE SEVERAL CHALLENGES IN ADDITION TO A FAMILY COURT CASE, THAT ARE RELATED TO THE FAMILY COURT CASE BUT NEED TO BE RESOLVED IN OTHER COURTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS. ANY OF THESE COLLATERAL CHALLENGES CAN LEAD TO CHILDREN ENTERING, REMAINING IN OR RETURNING TO FOSTER CARE. HOME FOR GOOD GIVES FAMILIES AN EFFICIENT ONE-STOP SOLUTION TO PROVIDE THEM WITH NEEDED ADVOCACY IN IMMIGRATION, HOUSING AND PUBLIC BENEFITS, AND CRIMINAL DEFENSE. INTERDISCIPLINARY HOME FOR GOOD TEAMS HAVE ALREADY HELPED OVER 500 FAMILIES KEEP THEIR CHILDREN HOME FOR GOOD.
JUVENILE JUSTICE PRACTICE: THE SAME CITY AGENCY THAT RUNS THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM ALSO RUNS THE TEENAGE INCARCERATION SYSTEM. WE REPRESENT YOUTH WHO ARE CRIMINALLY CHARGED IN FAMILY COURT OR "YOUTH PARTS" IN QUEENS AND MANHATTAN WITH THE SAME INTERDSICPLINARLY MODEL WE BRING TO FAMILY DEFENSE. OUR GOAL IS TO KEEP YOUTH HOME, WITH THEIR FAMLIES AND IN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO AVOID THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF SEPARATION AND INCARCERATION.
