Mission
The New York State Developmental Disabilities Planning Council is fully funded under the Federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. The Act, originally signed into law in 1975, authorizes the Council to prepare, implement and monitor a plan for improving the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $4.6 million All Funds ($4.6 million in Federal funds) for the Council. This represents the same level of funding as in 2007-08 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, including the recommended staffing of 18 FTEs, which represents no change from 2007-08, 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.
