Center for Independence of the Disabled, New York

Disabled New Yorkers can submit CIDNY's intake form for free benefits counseling, housing and employment help, peer support, independent-living skills, nursing-home transition, and referrals across all five boroughs. Most staff and board members are disabled.

The organization names capacity in ASL plus Arabic, Bengali, Cantonese, Haitian Creole, Mandarin, Nepali, Spanish, Tibetan, Urdu, Yiddish, and other languages. Use the Broadway Union Square office path when you want disability-led navigation rather than a general social-service desk.

Complete intake for the service you need, and say which language or ASL access you prefer at the start.
