Harbor Regional Center seeks out service providers who possess
the valuable and essential experience, educational background,
and critical skills necessary to offer a wide variety of services
and supports.
Service providers must be vendored by Harbor Regional Center
(HRC) before they can provide and be reimbursed for services.
“Vendorization” is the term used to describe the entire approval
process involved in preparing to provide services to individuals
served by the regional center. While this process often involves
obtaining licenses and/or approval from other state and local
agencies prior to becoming a vendor, the first point of contact
is HRC’s Resource Development Team. The application process
starts here, and we will be your guide throughout the entire
process.
Many of the services individuals receive through the regional
center are funded through state and federal money from the
federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Therefore, California must comply with the Home and
Community-Based Services (HCBS) Final Rule. This rule sets
requirements for HCBS settings, which are places where people
live or receive services.

final rule click here.
The first step to become a HRC service provider is to determine
if you offer a service that meets the needs of the people served
by our agency. We encourage potential service providers to visit
our Request for
Proposal (RFP) and Letter of Interest
(LOI) sections to view HRC’s current development
needs and determine whether your service meets the needs,
requirements, and qualifications of the posted RFP or LOI.
While becoming a vendor makes a provider eligible to provide
services, it in no way obligates Harbor Regional Center to
purchase services from that provider.
