Master Plan Public Input Meeting – November 18th at 6:30pm

California’s Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) has initiated a process to develop a Master Plan for Developmental Services.  The Master Plan will “seek to create and strengthen bridges that connect the developmental services system to other critical systems” and increase our system’s “ability to provide culturally responsive services and strengthen the accountability and standardization of the system so that it is easier for individuals and their families to navigate no matter where they live in California.”  For more information about the Master Plan process, please visit https://www.chhs.ca.gov/home/master-plan-for-developmental-services/.

 

NBRC’s Board of Directors wants to make sure that people in our community have the opportunity to provide input to the Master Plan.  Therefore, we have invited Victor Duron, the facilitator of the Master Plan process, to meet with our Board on November 18th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm on Zoom.  Mr. Duron will provide an overview of the Master Plan process and gather input from our board members and community.  We encourage people we serve and their families to attend.
