Redwood Coast Regional Center (RCRC) is seeking proposals to develop two (2) qualified Coordinated Family Supports (CFS) agencies in Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake or Mendocino counties.

Funding for this project is provided by RCRC’s FY 23/24 Community Resource and Development Plan (CRDP) budget. Projects developed with these funds will support the following goals:

• • Expand the availability, accessibility, and types of services and supports to meet current and future needs of individuals and their families in the community.
  • Develop systems to ensure that quality services and supports in the least restrictive environment are provided to individuals in the community.
  • Develop services that are person-centered and represent the diversity of the regional center’s catchment area.

RCRC was awarded start-up funding from the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) in the amount of $40,000 to develop two (2) qualified Coordinated Family Supports (CFS) agencies in Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake or Mendocino counties. $20,000 is available for each of the successful two applicants to develop this new service. This service will support adult clients who reside in their family home. Priority will be given to applicants who have Spanish speaking staff, or a clear plan for hiring bilingual/multilingual staff. CFS is designed to facilitate equitable access to services and supports. CFS services will be tailored, individualized, and flexible to meet the changing needs and preferences of the individual being served along with their family/caregiver.
