North Los Angeles County Regional Center (NLACRC) received approval for Community Placement Plan (CPP) funding by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and is seeking proposal submissions for the development of one (1) Specialized Residential Facility (SRF) to serve adult individuals with developmental disabilities and forensic/criminal involvement. The home will provide individuals with a structured, licensed setting while they work towards transitioning to a less restrictive residential setting. All interested applicants must have demonstrable experience supporting adults with developmental disabilities and have a physical business office located within NLACRC’s catchment area. Home will be a 4-bed (2 ambulatory, 2 non-ambulatory) Specialized Residential Facility (Service Code 113) that will specialize in serving adult individuals with developmental disabilities and forensic/criminal involvement who require a structured, licensed setting while working towards transition to a less restrictive residential setting. Residents will likely be verbal, ambulatory and/or non-ambulatory, and are expected to have behavioral and/or co-occurring mental health support needs. Residents may have high incidents of verbal threats, and verbal and/or physical aggression. Individuals residing in the home may require forensic services such as court ordered diversion, competency training, recidivism prevention, mental health supports, and counseling, as well as support with enhancing coping and anger management skills.
