Your Fast Track to a Professional, Regulation-Compliant Program Design
 
Preparing a Program Design for Regional Center vendorization can be one of the most time-consuming parts of the application process. Every Regional Center has its own review process, preferred formatting, and supplemental requirements, making it difficult to know where to begin.
 
This DIY Customizable Regional Center Respite Program Design provides a comprehensive, professionally written foundation that is already aligned with California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) expectations, Title 17 regulations, HCBS Final Rule principles, and common Regional Center vendorization requirements.
 
Instead of creating your Program Design from a blank page, simply customize the template with your agency's information and tailor it to your Regional Center's specific requirements.
