Dear service providers,
Thanks a million to the programs who have stepped up with supplies to donate- you rock!!! Thanks, also, to those who are reaching out when supplies are running short!
I’ll add a plea for other volunteers to donate supplies, if you are going to be funded through this crisis and have no need of them, whether at your office or facility. If you have shipments scheduled, please keep the supplies coming rather than canceling the order, if you can afford it.
Can I ask a favor of everyone, to speed up the process of making connections between you? Please email me (don’t call) me the following info:
Homes running short:
-
What is needed, in what quantity for a week
-
Include sizes for anything that has a size, and any specifics such as allergy needs, etc.
-
Contact name and info
-
Address
-
Name of someone who has availability for doing a pick-up (if any) and time frame
Programs with supplies to donate:
-
What you have available
-
Include sizes and amounts
-
Contact name and info
-
Address
-
Name of someone who has availability to deliver (if any) and time frame
Please send updates if availability of supplies changes. For example, if you are lucky enough to receive a shipment and then have additional supplies to share!
With deep appreciation of our supportive community,

NBRC is looking for volunteers to be a part of a small focus group to discuss end of life planning and related issues.
- Have you given some thought to end of life planning?

- The commitment is very time limited.
- The focus group plans to have two, 2-hour sessions held at the North Bay Regional Center Napa office – 610 Airpark Road, Napa Ca, 94558

NBRC’s Local Development Priorities
May 30, 2019 by
Community Resource Development Plan FY 19/20 – NBRC’s Local Priorities
A Community Resource Development Plan (CRDP) is developed by each regional center in California with stakeholder input. This plan will be used to develop new resources for individuals with developmental disabilities living in the community.
NBRC gathered stakeholder input via survey and public meeting and determined the below local priorities for NBRC’s Community Resource Development Plan:
- Day/Employment Programs for individuals with intense behavioral needs
- Children’s Residential Services
- Employment Services
- Intense Behavioral Services for individuals with Autism
- Respite for individuals with intense behavioral needs
- Crisis Services-all ages
NBRC will submit its 2019-20 fiscal year Community Resource Development Plan to the Department of Developmental Services by June 14, 2019. Once the plan is approved by the Department of Developmental Services, NBRC will publish Requests for Proposals asking service providers to develop new services to meet these priorities.
The 2017 Budget Trailer Bill, Assembly Bill 107, amended The Lanterman Act Section 4418.25 and added Section 4679, authorizing the Department of Developmental Services – when it determines that sufficient funding has been appropriated and reserved for a fiscal year for the Community Placement Plan (CPP) – to allocate the remaining CPP funds to regional centers for purposes of community resource development to address services and supports needs of consumers living in the community.
If you have additional input to provide on NBRC’s local priorities, please email carmena@nbrc.net prior to June 14, 2019.
