Partnership aims to support caregivers ahead of CDPAP transition deadline

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- New resources are being offered to home healthcare workers ahead of the spring when changes to the New York State's Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) will take effect.

In September, Gov. Kathy Hochul awarded a $9 billion contract to Public Partnership LLC (PPL) to oversee the program, which is responsible for paying caregivers. The announcement was met with pushback from advocates who said the changes could make it difficult for people to access the services they need.
