Our Results

Achieving groundbreaking results, year round:

• CFR has served more than 4,000 families with nearly 7,000 children since our founding in 2002. Each year, we serve more than 1,000 new clients in Manhattan and Queens.

• In 2012, CFR kept 57% of our clients’ children out of foster care entirely.

• For children who entered and left care in 2012, their median length stay was just 0.9 months, significantly shorter than the New York City median of 6.4 months and the New York State average of 29 months.

• The average cost of keeping one child in foster care in New York State is $29,000 per year.  CFR’s services, however, cost just $6,500 per family, regardless of the number of children.  As a result, we generated taxpayer savings of more than $9.3 million in 2012 alone.

• In 2012, CFR provided 19 training sessions to nearly 650 practitioners around the city, state and the country for audiences, including family court judges, court personnel, public defenders, private attorneys, medical and mental health practitioners, and more.
