As a consultant to CSCS - the City's leading advocacy, technical assistance, and coordinating resource for 265 community-based senior centers serving 300,000 elderly residents - PDA developed and managed an expansion of BOSS, a system that uses a computerized questionnaire to help seniors obtain government benefits. With support from the Butler and Guttman Foundations and the New York Community Trust, it also undertook a major study of Adult Social Day Care in New York, a study now being used to formulate policies and generate funding alternatives statewide.
United Jewish Communities (formerly UJA and Council of Jewish Federations) - Washington Action Office
UJC represents 189 local Jewish federations, 400 independent communities, and 700,00 people across North America, whose annual contributions exceed $2 billion. PDA researched and wrote a practical user guide on the Continuum of Care for the elderly, a major national issue.
