MOST OF OUR CLIENTS ARE LOW INCOME BLACK AND BROWN PARENTS. WE DEFEND MORE THAN 2300 PARENTS ANNUALLY AND HAVE DEFENDED NEARLY 14,000 PARENTS SINCE 2007 AGAINST CHARGES OF NEGLECT OR ABUSE IN MANHATTAN, QUEENS, THE BRONX, AND STATEN ISLAND FAMILY COURTS. OUR SUCCESSFUL MODEL COMBINES AN ATTORNEY, A SOCIAL WORKER, AND A PARENT ADVOCATE-SYSTEM IMPACTED PARENTS WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE FOSTER SYSTEM. BY COMBINING LEGAL AND SOCIAL WORK ADVOCACY WITH PARENT MENTORING, WE CONSISTENTLY KEEP HALF OUR CLIENTS' CHILDREN OUT OF CARE AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE FOSTER CARE STAYS.

CAP ALSO PROVIDES PARENTS WITH REPRESENTATION TO MODIFY THE STATE RECORDS THAT CORRESPOND TO A FAMILY POLICING INVESTIGATION; THE RECORDS OFTEN PREVENT PARENTS FROM SEEKING EMPLOYMENT IN FIELDS WHERE EMPLOYERS REGULARLY CHECK THESE RECORDS. WHEN A PARENT'S FAMILY DEFENSE CASE IS DISMISSED OR THEY HAVE OVERCOME CHALLENGES THAT LEAD TO MALTREATMENT CHARGES, CAP ASSISTS PARENTS WITH AMENDING THESE RECORDS, THUS EXPANDING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR CLIENTS.
