Proud of the work we are doing to ensure that we connect individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to the support services that they need.

In this week's episode of Westchester, Explained, we sit down with members of the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health to discuss the County's unique Boundary Spanner Program, which connects individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are experiencing homelessness, hospitalization, incarceration and other crises with the services, benefits and long-term support they need to rebuild their lives.
