The Major Project of the New York State Elks Association is the Home
Service Program of the Cerebral Palsy Associations of New York State
As it was at its conception, the Home Service Program continues
to be among the most unique programs serving people with disabilities in the
United States. First, the program represents a powerful demonstration of active
collaboration between a fraternal order, whose mission encompasses volunteerism
and community service, and a statewide not-for-profit advocacy and provider
agency. Second, the Home Service Program is New York's single largest information and
referral service with a significant percentage of the funding from charitable
contributions.
The program provides direct services to adults and children with
disabilities and their families in their home communities. This dynamic effort
has resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of life of citizens
with disabilities and their families throughout the communities of New York
State.
Services
Since the primary objective of the Home Service Program is to
provide individualized services, its staff travel thousands of miles throughout
New York State to assist persons with disabilities and their families. They
provide referral for appropriate evaluation and program services, advocacy,
counseling, follow-up, and program development.

supporting Elkdom in our state through
