What is it?
The CDM
Community Partnership Initiative (CPI) is a new and
innovative program created to meet the increasingly complex needs of
our area’s most vulnerable citizens.
The CPI was developed to reach beyond traditional in-home
care services, and solve an unmet need in the community.
Every day, in the course of
providing in home care through Medicare, Medicaid, and other state
and federal funds, CDM Services encounters needs in our community
that cannot be met through traditional tax funded sources.
These government funding sources, and the rules regarding
financial eligibility, are becoming more restricted all the time.
And few resources are available for clients that do not meet
state and federal guidelines.
Medicaid clients must pay for a portion of their services,
leaving them with less than the federal poverty level for basic
living expenses. Those
with disabilities have unique individual needs that are not met by
government programs.
These people are going without eyeglasses, hearing aids, canes,
walkers, medical equipment, and medications.
Clearly, the current system
is stretched to capacity and community support is the only way that
these needs can be fully met.
The CPI was developed so that CDM can take the lead in
filling this gap through service scholarships, and expanded
services. This
initiative will serve to identify and cultivate community
relationships, and partnerships, and to develop long term financial
support to address these unmet needs in your community.

Where will the funding come from?
The
start up and initial program costs for the CPI have been funded by a
generous grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust.
But, we still need your support!
The unmet needs of vulnerable people in your community can
only be met through donations from people like you.
The CPI will work to develop financial support through
partnerships with companies, organizations, foundations, and
individual donors.

Where will your money go?
Your
donation will directly help a person in your community by providing
service scholarships, and expanded services.
These volunteer-based, community programs will work to
address the need for medical equipment, medications, therapy, and
equipment for the disabled, transportation to doctor’s appointments,
home repairs, and quality of life improvements.
