HOW DO WE HELP THE COMMUNITY?
Aside from helping children, we also help the community. Studies of communities which utilize Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) in child maltreatment investigations versus those that do not, found that CACs typically save communities approximately $1,000 per investigation. Results from that study show that traditional investigations were 36% more expensive than CAC investigations. The average per-case cost:
- CAC investigation – $2,902
- Non-CAC investigation – $3,949
More than 400 children received investigative services at Jessie’s Place in 2016. According to this study, that is a savings of $400,000 for Citrus County Communities.
