How does the council coordinate services across providers?

Through regular planning meetings, information sharing, technical assistance, and collaborative problem-solving among member agencies. The council identifies service gaps, reduces duplication, and helps agencies work together to address complex needs of persons with developmental disabilities.

What is the council relationship to government agencies?

The council is an independent membership organization of voluntary nonprofit providers, not a government entity. However, it promotes policies and programs in partnership with government agencies and advocates for public funding supporting developmental disability services.

How can nonprofit providers become members?

Voluntary nonprofit organizations providing developmental disability services in the New York City metropolitan area can apply for membership. The council brings together providers across service sectors to strengthen coordination, share resources, and collectively advance the welfare of the population served.
