The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) issued correspondence to Regional Centers on April 12, 2022 regarding contractor and grantee compliance with economic sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Read the DDS correspondence here.

On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (EO) regarding sanctions in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. The EO is located at https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/3.4.22-RussiaUkraine-Executive-Order.pdf  The EO directs all agencies and departments that are subject to the Governor’s authority to take certain immediate steps, including notifying all contractors and grantees of their obligations to comply with existing economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. This correspondence serves as a notice under the EO that as a contractor or grantee, compliance with the economic sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine is required, including with respect to, but not limited to, the federal executive orders identified in the EO and the sanctions identified on the U.S. Department of the Treasury website : https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/office-of-foreign-assets-control-sanctions-programs-and-information/ukrainerussia-related-sanctions   Failure to comply may result in the termination of contracts or grants, as applicable.

Request For Proposals: Technology Lending Library to serve Los Angeles County Regional Centers

  • RFP Number:038
  • Start Date:May 27, 2021
  • Close Date:June 16, 2021

The Westside Regional Center (WRC) is requesting proposals to create a Technology Lending Library for individuals who are unable to access services and supports due to COVID-19. WRC is happy to announce that the Technology Lending Library is a multi-regional center project that has been approved by DDS to award FY 2020-2021 CPP/CRDP startup funds to develop libraries in the seven (7) Los Angeles County Regional Centers (“LAC Regional Centers”) listed below:

  • Westside Regional Center
  • Eastern Los Angeles Regional Center
  • Harbor Regional Center
  • Frank D. Lanterman Regional Center
  • North Los Angeles County Regional Center
  • San Gabriel/Pomona Regional Center
  • South Central Los Angeles Regional Center

During the ongoing pandemic, it has become evident that a portion of individuals and families served by the LAC Regional Centers have been unable to meet with their Regional Center Service Coordinators due to lack of technology to do so, let alone take advantage of remote services that are being offered as providers innovate alternative and remote ways to deliver services such as ABA, ILS, Early Start Services and other day services.

The Los Angeles County Regional Centers provide services and supports to a highly diverse population totaling nearly 110,000 individuals and have identified individuals who are in need of this service to stay engaged with their support services as well as their regional center. As the LAC Regional Centers continue to strive to provide equitable services across a diverse population, it is envisioned that equipping those who may be most in need of access to technology will help insure the most appropriate and person centered services for each individual receiving services. The LAC Regional Centers strongly recognize these technological services will still be needed after the pandemic.

Providers responding to this RFP may apply to serve all, one or a portion of the seven (7) Los Angeles County Regional Centers. The amount of CPP/CDRP Startup funding available is up to $1.4 million or $200,000 per LAC Regional Center. The LAC Regional Centers may accept all or part of a proposal to serve multiple Regional Centers. The selected provider(s) will contract with the LAC Regional Centers separately. Read the full RFP here. Proposals must be submitted by 4:00pm on Tuesday, June 15, 2021.
