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.
