  Customs Service, DDI has literally transformed
  the ability of the 1,500 children and adults we

  two years
• Two additional homes, serving 12 individuals,
  scheduled to open in 2009

  final approval from New York State to open during
  2009 as a home for 6 young adults transitioning
  out of our Childrens Residential Program

  approval for DDIs development in 2010 and 2011
  that will serve 12 more individuals

Future Plans

• We are heartened by the progress we have made to
  date
• However, we have significant needs to renovate
  our largest and oldest building- Little Plains
  School in Huntington
• Millions of dollars worth of essential capital
  improvements are needed to renovate and modernize
  our Little Plains School, which educates over 400
  pre-school and school-age children.
• New York State Education funds are not available
  for the majority of these renovations
• Therefore, the time has come for a focused
  Capital Campaign to raise funds from private
  donors to secure the future of DDI s largest
  school, more importantly, the future of our
  children.

This will require us to seek

• Major gifts from parents of children and adults
  served by us and from individual donors committed
  to the future of DDI.
• Grants from federal, state and local governmental
  entities.
• Competitive grants from private foundations and
  corporations.

Our Call to Action

• DDI is seeking to raise 5.7 million over five
  years to fund urgently needed improvements for
  the Little Plains campus in Huntington.
• Capital Campaign Goal
• General construction categories have been
  determined and prioritized. The sequence of
  these projects has been specifically organized to
  create an orderly approach to construction
  activities.
