Governor Hochul Announces New CDPAP Partnership With Independent Living Centers as Part of Plan to Strengthen Home Care Services for New Yorkers

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that New York State and Public Partnerships LLC (PPL) are partnering with 11 Independent Living Centers (ILCs) as part of the State’s plan to strengthen the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) for New York’s home care users. New York’s ILCs are among more than 30 community-based partners who will work closely with PPL to ensure the CDPAP program continues to deliver high-quality home care services for New Yorkers, including a successful transition by April 1. Governor Hochul also highlighted that CDPAP consumers across New York can now begin registering with PPL to ensure their continued service as part of this transition process.

“Our statewide partnership will protect CDPAP and ensure continued access to high-quality home care for New Yorkers across the State,” Governor Hochul said. “I’m pleased that independent living centers will play an important role as partners in this effort, as we create a better and stronger CDPAP for home care users and caregivers.”

State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said, “This is an important next step in our transition. Through this collaborative network of independent living centers, community-based providers and Public Partnerships LLC, we are ensuring the future of CDPAP for generations to come. New York State is demonstrating our ongoing commitment to protecting those who are served by this program.”
