Note: We do not rent apartments and we do not provide financial assistance.
Adapt Community Network
ADAPT Community Network’s Housing Assistance Services offers case management to families living in New York City with a household member who is OPWDD eligible. We assist your family in reaching your housing goals through advocacy, information and providing referrals to resources. As part of the housing supports offered at ADAPT, we work closely with Doorways to Independence (home modification program) and OPWDD Housing Subsidy programs.
Doorways to Independence program assist persons with physical disabilities, the elderly and medically frail with their home modification and adaptive equipment needs. Funding is available to cover the cost of wheelchair ramps, stairlifts, accessible bathrooms, light weight strollers, adaptations for those who are deaf or have limited hearing, etc. Full project coordination is offered for eligible applicants, including home assessments, scope of work development, obtaining vendor/contractor estimates and project management.
