Mission

The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Association of New York State supports consumer directed personal assistance providers and recipients in all counties of New York State, offering supportive services, including, but not limited to: advocacy, systems change, and the promotion of consumer control and self determination.

CDPAANYS is an independent association, the only such organization in New York State to exclusively represent fiscal intermediaries. CDPAANYS has worked closely with the New York State Department of Health to build CDPA since the very beginning, and has served as the sole organization fighting for many of the rights and freedoms enjoyed by consumers, personal assistants and fiscal intermediaries.
