Welcome to CASA for Children of
Mercer and Burlington Counties

the Courts

lived in out-of-home placements in fiscal year 2010.
More than 1,000 children
in Mercer and Burlington

,
each year
pass through the foster care system because of abuse, neglect or abandonment.
Their cases
are brought to court before a Family Court Judge who sometimes has only a few
minutes to make critical life-altering decisions about their future. Family
Court Judge needs accurate and up-to-date information to make the right
decision for a foster child. That’s where CASA steps in.
