Thu Jul 18 19:31:58 UTC 2013

Well Keri, the NYAGDU is a division of the National Association of Guide Dog Users which is a Division of the National Federation of the Blind, we are offer assistance in finding housing or to give you advice about the laws in our state. Margo Downey is the President of NYAGDU, which she just replied to you and Carl Jacobsen is the President of the NFB of NY.
Depending on where you are looking we have an NFB Chapter up in Buffalo where Margo is, a Chapter in NY City where Mindy Jacobsen is the President. Westchester Chapter is Edwin White. I am the 2nd Vice President of the Greater Long Island Chapter and David Stayer who is also a retired Social Worker might also be of help on these matters.
We also have a Syracuse Chapter, who is Lucy Cox-Marr who is also a NYAGDU member.
We have many members who live at Selis (S e l i s) Manor is located in NY City.
For more information on Selis Manor here is the website, but Carl would be the one to help and get you all the contact information, also we have members all across the state besides the chapters I have mentioned.
Our website is www.nfbny.org
