Mission Statement
Project Guardianship provides person-centered care for older adults and individuals living with disabilities and mental illness who need help making decisions. We also transform the systems that support them to ensure safety, promote independence, preserve dignity, and advance racial and social justice.
About This Cause
Project Guardianship serves a growing population of older adults and people with disabilities in all five boroughs of New York City, many of whom live below the poverty line with physical, cognitive, and/or mental health conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. They have no family or friends able to provide the support they need. At Project Guardianship, we take a high-quality, multidisciplinary team approach to helping individuals who need court-appointed legal guardians. We employ lawyers, case managers, property managers, a benefits manager, and finance associates to help clients remain safe, living at home, and as independent as possible. Drawing on our direct service experience, Project Guardianship also advocates for better policies and practices that impact older adults and individuals with disabilities, and casts a spotlight on the shortcoming in the guardianship and social services safety nets. We provide education, training, and support on guardianship best practices and alternatives to the general public, caregivers, and families.
