💨 Abstract

The Department of Justice has cut grant funding for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), individuals who give a voice to foster children, leading to uncertainty about the future of these programs nationwide. Rob Scheer, a former foster child and founder of Comfort Cases, warns that this could result in increased gang activity, homelessness, and decreased high school graduation rates and college applications.
