Harbor Regional Center (HRC) is seeking proposals for the development of a Family Home Agency (FHA). An FHA approves family homes that offer the opportunity for up to two adult individuals, with developmental disabilities, per home with individual bedrooms to reside with a family and share in the interaction and responsibilities of being part of a family. The individual with developmental disabilities receives the necessary services and support from the family, agencies, and the community to enable the individual to participate in the family and the community where the family resides. FHAs are responsible for recruiting, training, approving, and monitoring family homes, as well as providing ongoing support to family homes. Social service staff employed by the FHA make regular visits to the family home to ensure that necessary services and supports are in place and that the match between the family and the new family member is viable, and continues to be viable. The FHA will meet all standards set forth in Title 17 Family Home Agency (FHA) Regulations.
