Community Inclusion Project

Community Inclusion Project
Begun in December 1993, the Community Inclusion Project is designed to connect persons with developmental disabilities on an individual basis to local community life based upon their choices. The Project helps people to become involved in volunteer jobs, associations, churches, recreational groups, and self-development/educational activities. Over the last two years, supported employment services has become more available to people involved in the Project. People involved in the project are funded by Medicaid waiver monies as well as NYS VESID resources for supported employment services.

The Project is known both statewide and nationally as one of the first successful efforts to provide those supports on an individual basis in the community. Building supports around a person's unique needs, interests, talents and choices in their community is what the staff of the Community Inclusion Project excels at!
