What Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services Inc does
Mission
Cases' mission is to increase public safety through innovative services that reduce crime and incarceration, improve behavioral health, promote recovery and rehabilitation, and create opportunities for success in the community. We believe in a new york city in which a person's previous criminal involvement or behavioral health needs do not limit the opportunity to engage in the support and treatment services they need to succeed.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $26M to $40M (+55%).
