Developmental Disabilities Planning Council

Mission

The New York State Developmental Disabilities Planning Council is a federally-funded, New York State agency that operates under the direction of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. For over forty years, the Council has been developing and funding innovative, disability-related projects which improve the lives of people with developmental disabilities.

Budget Highlights

The Executive Budget recommends $4.8 million All Funds (all Federal funds) for the Council. This represents the same level of funding as in 2013-14 and is based on the level of anticipated Federal funding. This funding is sufficient to support the Council's role in coordinating information about persons with developmental disabilities and the services available to them, and in overseeing grant funds.

Federal funds fully support all Council operations and contracts with non-profit agencies to develop new services and service delivery methods. The contracts are monitored by the Council to ensure that Federal funds provided to the State are used to augment - rather than duplicate or replace - existing services for people with developmental disabilities.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 18 FTEs for the Council, reflecting no change from the 2013-14 budget.
