Regional Center Funding

Like all of the other regional centers in the state, Alta California Regional Center is a private nonprofit corporation which operates under an annual contract with the State Department of Developmental Services. Most of the regional center funds come from your tax dollars.

There is no charge for services rendered during diagnosis and assessment for eligibility or for most services. The State of California currently requires parents of children under age 18 who are in continuous 24-hour out-of-home placement to reimburse the state for a portion of the placement cost, according to their ability to pay.
