Self-Determination Local Advisory Committees (SDLACs) were established by law to provide oversight of the Self-Determination Program (SDP) and make recommendations for improvement to each local regional center and the Department of Developmental Services.
Periodically, funds are granted by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to the SDLACs and Regional Centers to support the implementation of the SDP.
The SDLAC for Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB) has prioritized the needs in the local area for the use of funds and is seeking proposals from interested parties to carry out one or more of the projects which the committee wishes to fund.
