At a recent New York State Assembly Public Hearing on Access to Residential Placements, state leaders, advocates, and providers came together to address the growing need for housing and support services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
In this video, Nick Capoletti, CEO of CCANY, shares testimony on the challenges facing individuals and families, and the urgent need for action.
Key priorities include:
- Restoring funding for Care Coordination Organizations (CCOs)
- Modernizing medication administration rules for trained DSPs
- Supporting family caregivers through legislation like the Family Caregiver Bill (A.10375)
These solutions are critical to strengthening services, improving outcomes, and ensuring people with IDD can live and thrive in their communities.
