This correspondence is in follow-up to the Department of Developmental Services’ (Department) April 19, 2023 guidance regarding Coordinated Family Support (CFS) Services, and specifically, the section on the Self-Determination Program (SDP).
Effective December 1, 2023, the CFS Services Pilot Program is available to participants in the SDP. Regional centers should refer to the January 27, 2023 guidance for SDP participants who request CFS as a needed service. When authorizing the service, regional centers shall fund it outside of the SDP participant’s individual budget.
If you are an SDP participant or family member and have questions about this correspondence, please contact your regional center service coordinator. Regional centers with questions should email [email protected].
Sincerely,
