The Interactive Map.Since the start of Covid-19, The Collaborative for Citizen Directed Supports of NJ (staffed by volunteers), has been working diligently in connecting available DSPs & SDEs with people who are in need of their services. We are acting as the bridge for people in need of services and those who can provide services. This work-in-progress includes an interactive virtual map indicating where DSP / SDEs are available for work now so that people and families can contact them directly for an immediate start date. People and families in need of services can also post their request for support on The Map! |
People and Families.
It's simple and free for a person with disabilities or for family members who seek supports for their loved ones with disabilities to participate.
To get started, all you do is access the FORM and enter your information. The map will be updated on the Friday that you submit your form to reflect your listing. If a DSP or SDE is available to provide supports for you, they will contact you via the information you share. We ask that you contact us once you have identified a support person so that we can remove your listing from The Map. Please note, The Collaborative of NJ is not a staffing agency and bears no responsibility for the persons listed on The Map. |

Direct Support Providers.
How to Join the Map:The Interactive Map is made possible by Direct Support Agencies (DSPs) like you! We are able to sustain our services through your financial contributions for participation.
The benefits to your agency in joining The Map is exposure across the state of New Jersey within the disability community via our website and bi-monthly educational webinars. Additionally, the quarterly or bi-annual Map Membership is inexpensive compared to online staffing platforms such as Indeed and Care.com! To join The Map, simply contact us to request the Terms of Service (TOS). Upon signing the TOS, you will be sent a spreadsheet where you can list an unlimited amount of available DSPs for your agency! On the Friday of your submission, your listings will populate The Map under your own colored Icon that will represent your agency. The Map Legend will be updated to feature your agency as well as the agency contact info button. We ask that you update your agency listings each week so that The Map is current. |
