Catholic Charities Disabilities Services (CCDS), an agency of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany began serving people with developmental disabilities in 1984. You probably already know of Catholic Charities and the great services it provides in so many ways. Where there is human need, Catholic Charities is there to support people. It can be said that Catholic Charities operates in a holistic way.

Catholic Charities has been a vibrant and respected service provider since 1917.
