Governor Hochul Announces Next Steps in Plans to Strengthen Home Care Services for New Yorkers

New York State – (Governor.ny.gov) Governor Kathy Hochul today announced a statewide partner and a diverse alliance of more than 30 regional partners that will strengthen New York’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which provides vital home care services to approximately 250,000 New Yorkers. This statewide partnership will take effect by mid-2025. This follows on the plan for CDPAP that was passed in April by the State Legislature and approved by the Governor as part of the FY 2025 State Budget.

“We’re committed to protecting home care users, supporting caregivers and ensuring the vital CDPAP program continues serving the New Yorkers who rely on it,” Governor Hochul said. “Our plan will deliver a stronger CDPAP and leverage a diverse, statewide partnership to ensure the high-quality, personalized care that New Yorkers need.”

New York’s statewide partner is Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), which will move its national headquarters to New York State and create more than 1,200 jobs for New Yorkers along with supporting CDPAP caregivers currently working throughout the State.
