Foster Children's Advocacy Project
The Foster Children's Project - The Children Advocacy supports children from birth to age 12, along with their siblings, who are in the licensed custody of the State of Florida. Once appointed by the Juvenile Court, the Project's attorneys advocate for these children in all court and administrative proceedings to protect them from abuse and neglect. They also work to ensure that the children achieve permanent placement with either their biological or adoptive parents within a 12-month period. In the fiscal year 2023-2024, the attorneys represented 460 clients in foster care.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2023 – Sep 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$4.6MFair Housing Advocacy Project
