In 2025, the NY Alliance received two-year funding from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation to reimagine how innovative supports and services are or can be provided to people with I/DD. This will provide a person with I/DD the opportunity to have more control over their home environment and access to their community.
In addition, this grant focuses on developing a support system that embraces a flexible work schedule and the option for remote work for Direct Support Professionals. The NY Alliance began piloting the project with 4 provider member organizations in September 2025. A report of findings and other information will be available at the conclusion of the grant period.
