Community Partners & Alliances
CDS has always relied on strong partnerships within the community as well as, outside the region to ensure services being provided are meeting the needs of the individuals supported through our programs. In addition, the goodwill and commitment of many community organizations and funding agencies to create an inclusive community are the backbone of our success and of course, the CDS staff who continue to build and maintain the partnerships. CDS has developed many partnerships within the community throughout the years all playing an integral role in CDS successes.
