National Core Indicators Meeting 11/6/24 at 6 p.m.

September 12, 2024 by

Please join North Bay Regional Center (NBRC) at our Board of Director’s meeting, on November 6, 2024 at 6 p.m. for a presentation on the National Core Indicator (NCI) Survey.  These surveys give individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families the opportunity to voluntarily and confidentially participate in surveys to share their experiences on access to and use of regional center and community services.

  • Survey responses help California learn how it is doing compared to other states.
  • Survey responses help the regional centers see what they are doing well and what they can improve on.
  • Share your input on the results of the survey for changes NBRC can make

For more information on the NCI Survey please visit:

AB 2423-Help Urge Governor to Sign into Law!

September 5, 2024 by

Dear Advocates,

This is an URGENT CALL TO ACTION for everyone in the disability community! Contact Governor Newsom TODAY and urge him to sign AB 2423 into law. This bill would require the state to review developmental disability service rates every two years.

AB 2423 passed the State Legislature on August 26. Now all it needs is Governor Newsom’s signature to become law in California!

Disability services funding does not automatically keep up with economic changes like cost of living and minimum wage increases. AB 2423 would require the state to keep track of the funding our system needs. The Department of Developmental Services would be required to post updated rates to their website for better transparency. These updated rates will provide valuable information to lawmakers as they make funding decisions about vital disability services and supports.

After decades of underfunding, we need to protect recent investments in the disability services system and make sure we never go back.

Please reach out to Governor Newsom and urge him to sign AB 2423 into law!

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.

  • Paid Employment opportunities
  • Dementia Services
  • Affordable Housing
  • Substance Abuse Treatment
  • Intense Behavioral Services
  • Socialization and Training Programs
  • Speech Therapy
  • Nursing
  • Paid Internships
  • Residential options for individuals with intense needs

NBRC will submit its 2024-25 fiscal year Community Resource Development Plan to the Department of Developmental Services by September 3, 2024.  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
