It provides input into CASAs overall direction and budget, and serves as a community voice.The Alameda County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program operates under administrative auspices of the Alameda County Health (ACH). Friends of CASA has a decision-making authority over its own accounts that are kept separately from ACH. Friends of CASA may decide to use any unrestricted reserves to make up for a budget shortfall or to supplement CASA activities. ACH may provide input to this, but the authority to use Friends of CASA's funds is that of Friends of CASA.
