Self Determination Advisory Committee Call for Proposals

Purpose: The Self Determination Advisory Committee (SDAC) is looking for creative proposals and ideas from FMS agencies to support Alta California Regional Center (ACRC) clients as they transition into the Self-Determination Program (SDP).  Please consider submitting a proposal to utilize SDAC funds to fill the gaps.

Topics should include:

• Accessing FMS agencies – the “ins and outs”
• Timelines and what to expect in working with FMS agencies
• Understanding each FMS model
• Staffing and planning
• Joint training for participants, families, regional centers, LVAC members and others with a focus on training self-advocates and families from diverse communities that are under-represented in the Self Determination Program.
• Collaborative groups or workshops to families, regional center staff, and community members, and SDAC members to foster ongoing, shared learning and problem-solving opportunities across diverse communities and those who are under-represented in the SDP.

Eligibility: Seeking proposals from FMS agencies willing to provide multilingual trainings, services, or support for clients interested in or pursuing the SDP.

Due date for submission for the RFP: August 31, 2025. Please email proposals to SDACPublicComments@altaregional.org.
