CDCI Survey

If you have the time, please click the link to complete the survey. We want to make sure you are doing okay during this time.

Do you have food? Do you have income? How about health insurance?

Take a couple of minutes and check-in with yourself and let us know. If you have barriers and need helping overcoming them, enter your contact information in as well and an advocate will reach out. Thank you.

How is CDCI conducting business?

Staff is working remotely until the governor declares non-essential workers can return to work.

We continue to serve our consumers, their families, and businesses in the Capital District. Our hours remain the same, Monday – Friday.

All appointments over the phone or using video conferencing software. All in-person meetings are cancelled until further notice.

We are conducting free workshops and support groups online using Facebook Live, Youtube and other video conferencing services. Please check our event calendar to see what is coming up!

If you would like to set up an appointment, please call us at (518) 459-6422 and leave a voicemail. We will return your call within 48 business hours. You may also email us at info@cdciweb.com.
