March 17th, 2020
Today the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) directed temporary suspensions of Day Habilitation and Prevocational Services.
As of 5:00 PM City Access New York will close their Brooklyn Day Hab Without Walls and Staten Island Day Hab Without Walls. All March Respite trips have been cancelled for both boroughs. We will keep you informed as all updates from the DOH (Department of Health) and OPWDD come in.
Please continue to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands. Social distancing and staying home as much as possible is very important in fighting this virus. We’re hoping that we all do our part and can be back together as soon as possible.
We are a phone call or email away, please contact us if you have questions or suggestions.
Stay strong and safe!
