Home Modifications

Care managers facilitate the E-Mod process, so they complete and submit all documentation for an E-Mod application.

All applications must be sent by the care manager to the regional email for OPWDD at opwdd.sm.region2.emods@opwdd.ny.gov

Here is a list of resources that may be helpful:

• Care Manager Checklist for an environmental modification request

• Application for Environmental Modifications (OPWDD Region 2 - Central New York)

• Clinical Justification Outline

• Directory of OPWDD agencies that provide home modifications

• Directory of care coordination organizations

For questions regarding the E-Mod process via OPWDD, contact:

• Monica DeSanto, AT/EM Coordinator for CNY (covering Cayuga, Cortland, Herkimer, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, and Oswego counties)
