The Lanterman Act (Section 4519.5 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code) requires all regional centers to provide a report of our
expenditures across identified demographic groups of our clients
(eg by disability, by age, by race or ethnicity, or by language)
and to hold a public meeting with stakeholders regarding the
data.HRC has collaborated with the Department of Developmental
Services to prepare this report. Included at the beginning of
this report is a summary of limitations related to this data. We
encourage you to keep these limitations in mind when reviewing
the data. For example:
- Due to limitations in the statewide Uniform Fiscal System,
not all expenditures can be reflected in this report. For
example, services that we purchase under a contract, such as some
supported employment services, transportation, etc are not
counted in this data.
- It also does not include authorized expenditures for services
which have been provided but have not yet been billed to the
regional center by service providers.
- This report does not reflect services in Individual Plans
that are funded by MediCal, Supplemental Security Income, health
plans, etc.

Changes in service delivery and billing in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic may have affected individuals and communities
differently. Care should be taken in comparing FY 20/21 data to
data for previous years. In response to the pandemic and varied
individual needs and circumstances, billing for some services
changed to a monthly rate instead of hourly or daily rates.
As a result, this may have reduced differences among individuals
in service authorizations, expenditures, and utilization.
