CFR accomplished much in 2011:
-
In 2011, CFR served more than 1,500 families overall. More than 1,000 were new clients with nearly 2,000 children.
-
In January 2011, CFR began providing services in the Queens Family Court through a new City contract and throughout the year we served 433 families in the borough.
-
In 2011, CFR kept 73% of our clients’ children out of foster care entirely.
-
In 2011, for those who entered and left care, their median stay was just 2.2 months, significantly shorter than the New York State median of 19.9 months and the New York City median of 6.4 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 $6,000 per family, regardless of the number of children. As a result, we saved taxpayers nearly $6.9 million in 2011 alone.
-
In 2011, CFR provided 13 training sessions to nearly 800 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.
