“I’ve seen the good, the bad & the ugly, but I wouldn’t want it any other way than CDPA.

It gives me my life. It gives me my freedom. I have a choice in how my life goes…how every day, month and year goes.

I look forward to my life because I have freedom.” 

-Angela, Troy

“I have a significant physical disability that requires me to use a wheelchair and rely on my attendants for my personal care.

I am  a human being with emotions, thoughts, dreams, aspirations. I want to live IN my community and take advantage of the life NYC offers everyone.”

— Nicole R., Brooklyn
