body
Summary
Summary
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends approving a revised allocation methodology for Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) local assistance funding beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2018-19. The committee also recommends applying the revised methodology for allocations beginning in FY 2018-19. The revised allocation methodology would provide all CASA programs with a larger percentage of funds as baseline funding and, for those programs that are eligible, a growth incentive. The state judicial budget for Judicial Council CASA Grants for FY 2018-19 is $2.213 million. The allocations would fund 45 CASA programs serving 51 counties.
