NEW YORK (WKBW) ⁤— In a recent announcement, New ​York‌ Governor Kathy Hochul unveiled⁣ a new statewide collaboration aimed at bolstering the state’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program ⁤(CDPAP). This program ‌currently provides home care services to⁢ approximately 250,000 New Yorkers. ⁤

The partner in this statewide initiative is Public Partnerships LLC ⁤(PPL).‍ As per the governor’s ‌office, PPL⁢ will relocate its national headquarters to New York State, creating over 1,200 jobs and providing support to the existing CDPAP caregivers across the state.

“Our commitment is unwavering towards ⁤safeguarding home care users, supporting caregivers, and ensuring the crucial CDPAP program continues to serve New Yorkers ⁤who depend on it. Our strategy will result in a more robust CDPAP⁤ and leverage‌ a diverse,⁣ statewide partnership to guarantee the high-quality, personalized‌ care that​ New Yorkers require.”

– Gov. Hochul

According to the governor’s‍ office, the CDPAP eligibility ⁢for home care users will remain unchanged as part of this process. Individuals receiving⁣ care through the program will not need to reapply. The initiative aims to fortify CDPAP, ensure‌ caregivers receive payments promptly, ⁤and prevent service disruptions for those who depend‍ on them.

“We are thrilled and honored to serve as ​a‍ partner to the‍ State, our over 30 regional FI ​partners, and local advocates in transitioning to the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. Our ​focus ⁤is on ensuring ​minimal disruption to consumers⁤ and caregivers as we strive to deliver a culturally sensitive process that will ‍help ⁢sustain⁢ the program for the many ‍New Yorkers who rely on it.”

– PPL ‍President and CEO Vince Coppola

Furthermore, the governor’s office stated⁢ that by collaborating‌ with PPL, the state will ⁢also engage PPL’s subcontracted ​partners across the‌ state to​ ensure easy access‌ to multilingual,⁢ culturally sensitive home ⁢care. This includes:

Four Core⁣ Regional Home Care⁣ Partners:

  • Chinese American Planning ​Council, the primary regional partner for New⁣ York City,⁣ Long Island, and Westchester County.
  • Concepts of Independence, Inc., the ⁢primary regional partner⁢ for the Hudson Valley region, including Rockland, Dutchess, Putnam, and surrounding counties.
  • Angels In Your Home, the primary⁤ regional partner for ‌mid-state areas including Albany, Saratoga, Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, and surrounding counties.
  • Consumer Directed Choices (CDChoices), the primary regional partner for Upstate and⁢ Southwestern​ areas including Allegany, ⁢Oswego, Hamilton, Clinton,⁢ and‌ surrounding counties.

Strategic Partnership⁣ Alliance⁢ of Community-Based⁣ Providers:

  • Over 30 different home care agencies currently active in New York’s CDPAP, providing a wide range of multilingual, culturally sensitive ​care to communities across the⁢ State. The list of additional agencies participating in this strategic partnership alliance‍ will be announced shortly.

“This contract award ensures​ the ‌State will continue to provide ‍necessary care options through⁤ the Consumer Directed Personal⁣ Assistance⁤ Program, ‌as well as ‍strengthening this vital program to deliver uninterrupted services and care ⁢to those in need, greater fiscal⁤ accountability, and timely payments to‍ providers. Governor Hochul⁤ continues to protect ​those who are served by this program ‍from waste⁣ and ⁤abuse, and ⁣this diverse new alliance will safeguard the commitment and ongoing work of New York State to provide multilingual, culturally sensitive home care that is⁢ readily accessible for those ‍who rely on it today, and who ⁤will need it in the future.”

– State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald

The governor’s⁢ office also stated‍ that state officials and partners‍ will ⁣initiate a comprehensive transition process focused on ‌ensuring ⁢communication, dialogue, and support ⁤for‍ CDPAP home⁣ care users ⁤and caregivers. The transition will continue over the coming months and ensure home care users and caregivers are protected‌ before⁣ the ‌new statewide partnership becomes ⁤operational in⁤ mid-2025.

The process will include:

  • Direct in-person​ and virtual meetings with home care users​ and caregivers across the State.
  • Coordination with disability and senior advocacy⁣ groups.
  • Open dialogue with elected ⁢officials​ across the State.
  • Ongoing review by State officials to ensure the⁣ needs of home care users and caregivers are thoroughly addressed before the new statewide partnership takes effect.

“We are aware that taxpayer dollars allocated for home ‌care are often squandered on excessive administrative costs and million-dollar executive salaries. A thoughtful transition of this program is crucial to ensure that ‍vulnerable New Yorkers can continue living with dignity in their own homes – and also to protect the caregivers who provide immense support for seniors and⁣ those living with disabilities. We appreciate Governor Hochul taking this action to stand ⁤up to the special interests and better ⁢protect home care consumers⁢ and the workers who care for them. We are⁤ committed to working in cooperation with the Governor to‌ finally guarantee equity in ⁤the overall ⁢Medicaid program and to ​ensure a⁢ smooth transition for home care consumers and workers.”

– 1199SEIU ⁣United Healthcare Workers East ⁤President George Gresham
