Regional Resource Development Projects

The Regional Resource Development Project (RRDP) concept was initially piloted in 1987 and authorized by the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act in September 2002. Each of the seven RRDPs was initially associated with one of the developmental centers to assist in activities related to admissions, transition planning, deflection and resource development. Since the closure of Stockton and Camarillo Developmental Centers the two Regional Resource Development Projects assigned, Delta and Westlake, continue to serve these geographical areas due to ongoing consumer need.

The RRDPs are designed to:

  • Assist consumers and their interdisciplinary planning teams with planning and transition from developmental centers to community living alternatives and provide post placement follow up.
  • Assess consumers experiencing difficulty in their community environment and identify possible supports to preserve their community living arrangements.
  • Assist in the transition to, or preservation of, community living arrangements by providing focused training on specific needs to consumers, families, service providers and regional center staff.
  • Communicate with the regional centers regarding the development of the annual Community Placement Plan.

For further information contact your local regional center or the RRDP that serves your area.

If you have any questions, contact the Regional Projects Branch at (916) 654-2244.
