Community Placement Plan (CPP) / Community Resource Development Plan (CRDP)

North Los Angeles Regional Center (NLACRC) seeks to ascertain stakeholder input regarding the proposed Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Community Placement Plan (CPP) / Community Resource Development Plan (CRDP) projects. WIC Section 4679(c) authorizes the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to allocate funds to regional centers for purposes of community resource development to address services and supports needs of individuals living in the community, and to issue guidelines on the use of these funds.

Pursuant to the DDS published 2024-2025 CPP & CRDP Guidelines, NLACRC conducted outreach activities throughout the year with diverse stakeholder groups, including individuals, family members, providers, and advocates to solicit input for the 2024-2025 CPP & CRDP projects. Outreach activities included targeted surveys, which were distributed via email and posted to NLACRC’s website and social media, meetings with stakeholders, as well as solicitation of input during public meetings such as the NLACRC Vendor Advisor Committee (VAC). Additionally, a review of associated data identified trends in demographics and service needs leading to the following proposed list of projects:

• 1 Service Provider for an Enhanced Behavioral Supports Home (EBSH) with Delayed Egress to serve children with significant behavior challenges and service needs (4-bed home)
• 1 Service Provider for an Enhanced Behavioral Supports Home (EBSH) to serve adults with significant behavior challenges and service needs requiring placement or deflection from more restrictive settings (4-bed home)
• 1 Service Provider for an Enhanced Behavioral Supports Home (EBSH) with Delayed Egress to serve adults with significant behavior challenges and service needs requiring placement or deflection from more restrictive settings (4-bed home)
• 1 Service Provider for Adult Residential Facility for Persons with Special Health Care Needs (ARPSHN) to provide 24-hour health care and intensive support services for individuals with developmental disabilities needing community placement or deflection from Skilled Nursing Facilities (5-bed home)
• 1 Specialized Residential Facility (SRF) with Delayed Egress for individuals with substance abuse and mental health service needs (4-bed home)
• 1 Specialized Residential Facility (SRF) to serve adults with forensic backgrounds, who may also have significant behavioral challenges and mental health service needs (4 bed)
• 1 Construction of Specialized Residential Facility (SRF) with Secured Perimeter to serve adults with severe behaviors, forensic/criminal backgrounds, and challenging service needs who require competency restoration training (2-bed Accessory Dwelling Unit)
• 1 Behavioral Day Program for adults with significant behavior challenges and/for forensic involvement, as well as co-occurring mental health diagnoses
• 1 Substance Use Disorder Treatment Service (outpatient) licensed by the Department of Health Care Services
• 1 Specialized Residential Facility for non-ambulatory adults with nursing needs who do not require 24-hour nursing care (4-bed home)
• EBSH/CCH Service Provider Training to support the development of a training program for qualified providers that have demonstrated a commitment to providing quality residential services with behavioral supports (i.e., Level 4, SRF) that are interested in expanding their services to include EBSH and CCH homes.
