MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • A decrease of $334 million in 2009-10 in the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) Regional Centers. The DDS Regional Centers continue to experience significant expenditure growth. Due to the state's fiscal situation, the DDS will work closely with the regional centers to manage program expenditures while meeting consumer service needs within the existing 2008-09 appropriation authority. For 2009-10, the DDS estimates there will be caseload and expenditure growth. However, due to fiscal constraints, the budget contains no funding increases associated with caseload, cost or service utilization growth and establishes a savings target of $334 million to mitigate the growth in the program. The DDS will work with stakeholders over the next few months to develop proposals to achieve the targeted savings while maintaining the entitlement and ensuring program and service integrity.
