North Los Angeles County Regional Center (NLACRC) is one of 21 private, non-profit organizations under contract with the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to coordinate and provide community-based services to persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (consumers).

The unique regional center system was created by the landmark entitlement legislation called “The Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act”, or Lanterman Act. Each regional center is governed by a Board of Trustees of community members that includes consumers, their family members, and other interested individuals.

NLACRC currently serves more than more than 34,500 consumers as of July 2023, and has supported consumers and their families in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita, and Antelope Valleys for more than 45 years.
