Servicing NYC and Long Island
x
We’re fortunate to live in a time where there are unprecedented levels of acceptance for people with disabilities, with so much help and support available. From fitness classes to stairlifts or a monthly stipend — help of this sort adds up and can give you a bit of breathing space. The problem is, it’s hard to know what you’re entitled to, and how to apply for it.
Each of these benefit programs has its own set of guidelines, and some have predetermined caps, so even if you qualify, the funding may not be immediately available. Our staff is intimately familiar with these programs, and we’ll always do our very best to get you the help you need.
Participants must meet these criteria to apply for this service via Hamaspik of Kings County.

A concerned family contacted us about their deteriorating ramp. It could no longer hold the weight of the wheelchair, and without safe access to the outdoors, their loved one would be confined to home all day, every day.The contractors they had consulted explained that the only option was to replace it. Due to the complex layout of the home, the lowest price they could get was a costly $25,000. Our dedicated coordinator got on the case, skillfully negotiating approval with the relevant agency by strategically presenting photos, detailed explanations, and compelling reasons to prove this client’s eligibility.
The family was effusive with their gratitude when the coordinator was successful in getting the family approved for a generously sized, well-designed ramp that could comfortably accommodate the wheelchair!
"It's so rewarding to be able to provide this public service — for example, we were able to get FSS for a child who was never covered before, which brought such great relief to his mom."
The programs are generally available to individuals with disabilities — but there are different criteria for each one. If you think you may be eligible for one or more of these programs, please reach out. Our efficient team will help you get started.
