Consumer Directed Action of New York (CDANY) is now officially on Facebook!
CDANY is the 501(c)(4) sister organization to Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Association of New York State.
Formed in summer 2022, CDANY's mission is to build self-directed power throughout the state of New York.
We will work with aging and disabled New Yorkers and fiscal intermediaries, as well as allied organizations, to promote, strengthen, and enhance the New York State Medicaid program’s consumer directed personal assistance program (sometimes referred to herein as “CDPA”), home care and community-based long-term supports and services, and to a lesser extent, the Medicaid program overall.
To accomplish this goal, CDANY will organize CDPA consumers and agencies, as well as allies who are supportive of the efforts, to engage with government representatives in a variety of ways, including lobbying, testifying at public hearings, and direct actions.
The HHAeXchange team is excited to be here at the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Association of New York State (CDPAANYS) 19th Annual Conference! Visit our booth today to learn more about how our software simplifies management.

Although proven very effective, changes to the program have made accessing and enrolling more difficult. We’ve invited families, advocates, agencies and Bryan O’Malley, the Executive Director for the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Association of New York State to share the benefits and challenges of the current program and steps we can take to improve it. This session will be live streamed via Facebook onNYS Senator Rachel May ’s page.
