Housing Assistance Program

Finding Safe, Affordable Housing

One of the biggest barriers to community living for adults with developmental disabilities is finding appropriate, affordable housing. Our Housing Assistance Program helps eligible individuals locate rental properties, navigate the application process, and manage moving costs.

This service is for people transitioning to more independent living situations who need practical help making that transition happen.

Who Benefits from Housing Assistance?

This service helps individuals who are:

• Transitioning from group homes to their own apartments
• Moving from family homes to independent living
• Exiting institutional settings and need community housing
• Relocating due to changes in support needs or services
• Experiencing housing instability or homelessness
• Looking to move into shared living arrangements
• Seeking more appropriate or accessible housing

To be eligible, individuals typically:

• Are receiving regional center services
• Have independent living or supported living authorization
• Require assistance navigating the housing market
• May need help with costs or logistics of moving

The Housing Search Process

Finding appropriate housing takes time and coordination. Here's how we help:

Understanding Needs & Preferences

We start by identifying what kind of housing the person needs. How many bedrooms? Must it be wheelchair accessible? Near public transportation? Close to family? Within a certain price range? Allows pets?

Researching Options

We search for available rentals that match the criteria. This includes traditional apartment complexes, private landlords, shared housing situations, and subsidized housing programs.

Landlord Education

Some landlords hesitate to rent to individuals with disabilities due to misconceptions or lack of information. We can communicate about support services, service animals, reasonable accommodations, and why the person would be a good tenant.

Application Assistance

We help complete rental applications, gather required documents, explain the person's situation constructively, and follow up with property managers.

Viewing Properties

We accompany individuals to see potential housing, pointing out important features, concerns, or accessibility issues they might miss.

Decision Support

We help weigh pros and cons of different options, considering factors like safety, accessibility, cost, proximity to services, and personal preference.

Navigating Subsidized Housing

Many individuals receiving developmental disability services qualify for subsidized housing programs. We help navigate these complex systems.

Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers:

We assist with applications to local housing authorities, help find landlords who accept Section 8, and coordinate the inspection and approval process.

Public Housing:

We help apply for public housing authority properties and understand waiting list processes.

Affordable Housing Programs:

Many cities have income-restricted affordable housing. We help identify these properties and complete applications.

Special Needs Housing:

Some developments are specifically for individuals with disabilities. We connect people with these resources.

Moving Cost Support

Moving expenses can be a major barrier. Depending on funding availability, we may be able to help with:

Application Fees & Deposits:

First month's rent, last month's rent, security deposits, pet deposits, and application fees can add up to thousands of dollars. We explore options for assistance.

Moving Services:

Whether hiring professional movers, renting a truck, or coordinating volunteers, we help make the physical move happen.

Utility Deposits & Setup:

We assist with setting up electricity, gas, water, internet, and other essential services.

Essential Household Items:

Connections to programs that provide furniture, kitchen supplies, linens, and other necessary household goods.

*Note: Availability of financial assistance varies based on regional center funding and individual authorization. Not all costs may be covered.*

After Move-In Support

Our help doesn't end on moving day. We provide transition support including:

• Follow-up visits to ensure the housing is working out
• Troubleshooting problems with landlords or neighbors
• Connection to ongoing support services (ILS, SLS)
• Help resolving utility or maintenance issues
• Support maintaining the tenancy successfully

Tenant Rights & Responsibilities

Part of our housing assistance includes education on being a good tenant:

Understanding Leases:

We explain lease terms, responsibilities, and rights so people know what they're signing.

Rent Payment:

Helping set up systems to ensure rent is paid on time every month.

Maintenance Requests:

Teaching how to report problems to landlords and follow up appropriately.

House Rules:

Understanding property policies about noise, guests, pets, parking, etc.

Conflict Resolution:

How to address problems with neighbors or landlords before they escalate.

Fair Housing Rights:

Knowing that discrimination based on disability is illegal and how to address it.

Getting Started

Step 1: Contact us to discuss housing needs and situation.

Step 2: We meet to complete a housing needs assessment.

Step 3: Regional center authorizes Housing Assistance services through code 101.

Step 4: We begin the housing search process.

Step 5: When appropriate housing is identified, we facilitate the application and move.

Step 6: Follow-up support ensures successful housing stability.

ABOUT US PAGE CONTENT

Page Title: About CC Care - Developmental Disabilities Support in Paramount, CA

Who We Are

CC Care operates a residential care facility in Paramount, California, serving adults with developmental disabilities throughout Los Angeles County. We're a licensed vendor with the California Department of Developmental Services, qualified to provide multiple levels of support from light-touch independent living services to intensive behavioral intervention.

Our mission is simple: help each person we serve reach their full potential through compassionate, individualized care that promotes independence, dignity, and quality of life.

Our Story

[Note: Add your specific founding story, how many years in operation, why you started this work, etc.]

We know firsthand that finding quality residential care for a loved one with developmental disabilities is challenging. Families need more than just a place for their adult child to live - they need a team that genuinely cares, provides skilled support, and treats each person with respect.

That's what we set out to create: a facility where adults with developmental disabilities can thrive, build skills, form meaningful relationships, and work toward their goals in a supportive environment.

What We Believe

People First

We see abilities, not just disabilities. Every person has strengths, preferences, dreams, and potential. Our job is to support them in pursuing those, not impose our own ideas about what their life should look like.

Individualized Support

No two people have identical needs. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all programming. Every support plan is customized based on the person's goals, abilities, challenges, and preferences.

Community Integration

Real inclusion means participating in regular community life - shopping at regular stores, using public spaces, building relationships with neighbors. We emphasize community presence and participation over segregated activities.

Skill Building

We're not content with just maintaining someone's current abilities. We actively teach new skills, support growth, and help people gain confidence in their capabilities.

Family Partnership

Families know their loved ones best. We view family members as partners in care, value their input, and maintain open communication about progress and concerns.

Accountability & Transparency

We do what we say we'll do. Families and case managers receive regular updates, honest assessments of progress, and clear communication about any concerns.

Our Team

Our staff are our most important resource. We hire for character and train for skill, seeking team members who genuinely care about the people they support.

Our Staff Includes:

• Licensed nursing staff (RNs and LVNs)
• Behavioral support specialists
• Direct support professionals trained in positive behavior intervention
• Certified ASL interpreters
• Program coordinators
• Clinical supervisors

All staff receive training in:

• Person-centered planning and support

RESOURCE PAGE 1: FAMILY GUIDE TO REGIONAL CENTERS

Page Title: Understanding Regional Centers in California - A Family Guide

What Are Regional Centers?

If your adult child has a developmental disability in California, the regional center system is likely your primary connection to services and support. But if you're new to all this, regional centers can seem confusing and overwhelming.

This guide explains what regional centers are, how they work, and how to navigate the system effectively.

The Basics

California has 21 regional centers covering different geographic areas of the state. These are non-profit agencies that contract with the state to coordinate services for people with developmental disabilities.

Regional centers don't provide services directly. Instead, they:

• Determine eligibility for services
• Assess needs
• Develop service plans
• Coordinate and purchase services from vendors (like us)
• Monitor service quality
• Advocate for clients

Think of the regional center as the gateway to services. They hold the funding and make decisions about what services are authorized.

Who Qualifies for Regional Center Services?

To be eligible, someone must have a qualifying developmental disability that:

• Began before age 18
• Is expected to continue indefinitely
• Results in substantial functional limitations in three or more areas of major life activity

Qualifying conditions include:

• Intellectual disability
• Cerebral palsy
• Autism spectrum disorder
• Epilepsy
• Conditions found to be closely related to intellectual disability or requiring similar treatment

Some disabilities don't qualify for regional center services even if they began in childhood - for example, learning disabilities by themselves, mental illness without a developmental component, or disabilities caused solely by physical conditions.

The Intake Process

If you think your adult child needs regional center services:

Step 1: Contact the Regional Center

Call the regional center that serves your area. You can find yours at [link to DDS regional center finder].

Step 2: Initial Screening

They'll ask basic questions about the person's age, disability, and needs to determine if an intake appointment is warranted.

Step 3: Intake Appointment

You'll meet with an intake worker who will gather detailed information about developmental history, current functioning, medical records, and needs.

Step 4: Evaluation

The regional center completes assessments (which may include psychological testing, medical review, and functional assessments) to determine eligibility and needs.

Step 5: Eligibility Determination

You'll receive written notice of whether the person is eligible for services. If denied, you have the right to appeal.

Step 6: Service Planning

If eligible, you'll be assigned a service coordinator (case manager) who will work with you to develop an Individual Program Plan (IPP).

Understanding the IPP

The Individual Program Plan (IPP) is the central document that governs services. It's developed in a meeting that includes:

• The person receiving services (if they can participate)
• Family members
• The regional center service coordinator
• Current service providers
• Anyone else relevant to the person's life

The IPP includes:

• Assessment of current strengths and needs
• Long-term goals
• Short-term objectives
• Specific services to be provided
• Who will provide each service
• How often services will occur
• How progress will be measured

IPPs are reviewed at least annually, but can be updated more frequently if needs change.

What Services Can Regional Centers Fund?

Regional centers can purchase a wide range of services including:

• Residential services (like ours)
• Day programs
• Supported employment
• Behavioral services
• Respite care
• Transportation
• Specialized therapies
• Medical equipment and supplies
• Personal assistance
• Many others

However, not everyone is eligible for every service. Regional centers consider:

• What natural supports exist (family, community, etc.)
• What generic resources are available (Medi-Cal, Medicare, school districts, etc.)
• What specialized developmental disability services are needed
• Budget constraints and prioritization rules

Working Effectively with Your Service Coordinator

Your service coordinator (SC) is your main contact at the regional center. Building a good relationship with them is important.

Tips for success:

• Respond to their calls and emails promptly
• Attend scheduled meetings
• Provide requested documentation
• Be honest about what's working and what isn't
• Ask questions when you don't understand something
• Keep records of conversations and agreements
• Prepare for IPP meetings in advance
• Focus on your loved one's needs, not just what services you want

If you're unhappy with your service coordinator:

First, try to resolve issues directly. If that doesn't work, you can request a different SC or speak with their supervisor.

When You Disagree with the Regional Center

Sometimes regional centers deny services families feel are needed. You have rights in these situations.

Informal Resolution:

Request a meeting with the service coordinator's supervisor to discuss concerns.

Fair Hearing:

You have the right to appeal most regional center decisions through the state fair hearing process. You can represent yourself or hire an attorney. Many disability rights organizations offer help with appeals.

Advocacy Organizations:

Groups like Disability Rights California and local advocacy organizations can provide advice and support if you're in conflict with the regional center.

Finding Your Regional Center

Los Angeles County is served by several regional centers based on where you live:

• Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB)
• Inland Regional Center (IRC)
• Lanterman Regional Center
• North Los Angeles County Regional Center (NLACRC)
• South Central Los Angeles Regional Center (SCLARC)
• Westside Regional Center (WRC)
• And others depending on specific location

RESOURCE PAGE 2: UNDERSTANDING SERVICE CODES

Page Title: Understanding Regional Center Service Codes - What They Mean

What Are Service Codes?

Every service that regional centers purchase for clients is assigned a specific numeric code. These three-digit codes categorize different types of support and determine how services are billed and tracked.

For families, understanding service codes helps you know exactly what services are authorized in your loved one's IPP and advocate for appropriate supports.

Why Service Codes Matter

For Families:

• Knowing your authorized service codes helps you understand what's approved
• You can verify that you're receiving the services documented in the IPP
• When discussing needs with your service coordinator, you can reference specific codes
• Understanding codes helps if you need to appeal a denial

For Providers:

Service codes determine which vendors can provide services, how billing works, and what documentation is required.

Common Service Codes for Adults

Here are some of the most common service codes families encounter:

Residential & Living Support:

• 063: Adult Residential Facility - Intensive (what we provide)
• 101: Adult Residential Facility - Minimal Support
• 520: Independent Living Services (ILS)
• 895/896: Supported Living Services (SLS)

Day & Employment Services:

• 510: Activity Center
• 855: Work Activity Program
• 950: Supported Employment (individual)

Training & Development:

• 108: Parent Training & Education
• 505: Adaptive Skills Training
• 506: Social Recreation Activities
• 507: Camping Services

Behavioral Services:

• 002: Behavior Intervention Aide
• 054: Intensive Behavior Treatment - Child
• 065: Behavioral Consultation

Medical & Nursing:

• 742: Nursing Services - LVN
• 744: Nursing Services - RN
• 745: Paramedical Services

Communication & Specialized:

• 642: Communication Support (ASL, PECS)
• 730: Infant Development Program
• 765: Respite - Out of Home

Case Management:

• 015: Case Management (provided by regional center)
• 030: Crisis Intervention

Service Code 063 - What We Provide

Since CC Care is vendored for Service Code 063 (among others), let's explain what this actually means:

Service Code 063: Adult Residential Facility - Intensive

This code covers 24-hour residential care in a licensed facility for adults who need intensive support due to behavioral challenges, medical complexity, or other factors requiring higher levels of supervision than standard residential settings.

Services include:

• 24/7 supervision and support
• Room and board
• Personal care assistance
• Behavior management
• Medication administration
• Skills training
• Community integration
• Crisis intervention
• Coordination with medical and mental health providers

This service code is for clients who cannot safely live independently or in less restrictive settings without intensive supports.

ILS vs. SLS - What's the Difference?

This confuses a lot of families because the names sound similar.

Independent Living Services (ILS) - Code 520:

• Training and skill development, not direct care
• Staff visit periodically to teach skills
• Client is capable of being alone between visits
• Focus is on increasing independence
• Lower intensity and less expensive
• Typically a few hours per week to a few hours daily

Supported Living Services (SLS) - Code 895/896:

• Ongoing support and assistance, not just training
• Staff may be present for extended periods daily
• Client needs regular hands-on help
• Focus is on maintaining community living with support
• Higher intensity and more expensive
• Can range from a few hours daily to near 24/7 support

Think of ILS as teaching someone to cook. SLS is being there to help them cook dinner every night while also teaching skills.

How Services Are Authorized

Service codes are listed in the IPP along with:

• Number of units (hours, days, months)
• Frequency (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Start and end dates
• Vendor name or vendor type

For example:

"Service Code 520 (ILS): 10 hours per week for 12 months, provided by [agency name]"

The regional center issues a Purchase of Service Authorization (POS) to the vendor, who then bills the regional center for services provided.

When Service Codes Change

As your loved one's needs change, service codes may need to be updated:

Stepping Up in Intensity:

Someone might move from ILS (520) to SLS (896) if their needs increase and they require more support.

Stepping Down:

Conversely, someone might transition from residential facility care (063) to SLS (896) as they gain skills and can handle more independence.

Adding Services:

New service codes can be added at IPP meetings if needs arise - for example, adding behavioral consultation (065) if challenging behaviors develop.

Discontinuing Services:

Services that are no longer needed should be removed from the IPP to free up funding for other supports.

Questions to Ask Your Service Coordinator

When discussing service codes:

• What specific services does this code include?
• How many units are authorized and what does a "unit" mean?
• Who is qualified to provide this service?
• How often should I expect service delivery?
• What if we need more units than authorized?
• Can we change service codes if needs change?

Getting Help

If you're confused about service codes or feel the wrong services are authorized:

• Ask your service coordinator to explain in plain language
• Request copies of all IPP documentation
• Contact a family resource center for help understanding options
• Reach out to advocacy organizations
• Consider bringing an advocate to IPP meetings

RESOURCE PAGE 3: WHAT TO EXPECT - FIRST 30 DAYS

Page Title: What to Expect: The First 30 Days in Residential Care

You've Made the Decision - Now What?

Transitioning your adult child to residential care is a huge step. It's normal to feel a mix of relief, guilt, anxiety, worry, and hope. Knowing what to expect during the first month can ease some of that uncertainty.

This guide walks you through the typical first 30 days at CC Care.

Before Move-In Day

Final Preparations:

• Complete all intake paperwork
• Provide current medications and prescriptions
• Share medical records and emergency contacts
• Discuss preferences, routines, likes and dislikes
• Prepare your loved one for the transition
• Pack personal belongings
• Arrange for any special equipment or supplies

Pre-Placement Visit:

We encourage at least one pre-move visit where the person can see their room, meet some staff, and get comfortable with the environment. For some clients, multiple shorter visits work better than one long one.

Week 1: Adjustment & Assessment

Day 1-3: Getting Settled

The first few days focus on basic orientation and establishing routines:

• Unpacking and personalizing the living space
• Meeting roommates (if applicable) and other residents
• Tour of the facility and neighborhood
• Introduction to house rules and daily schedule
• Medication setup and first doses administered
• Baseline health assessment by nursing staff

Common First-Week Challenges:

• Homesickness or sadness
• Difficulty sleeping in a new place
• Changes in eating patterns
• Testing boundaries with new staff
• Anxiety about new routines
• Missing family

This is all normal. Our staff are trained to support people through adjustment periods with extra attention, patience, and reassurance.

Family Contact:

We encourage daily contact in the first week - whether that's calls, video chats, or short visits. Staying connected helps both your loved one and you feel more comfortable.

Week 2: Learning Patterns

Assessment Period Continues:

During week two, we're closely observing:

• Sleep patterns and any nighttime needs
• Eating habits and food preferences
• Interaction with others
• Response to structure and routine
• Behavior patterns and triggers
• Communication style
• Preferred activities
• Signs of distress or discomfort

Developing the Individual Plan:

Based on these observations, we refine the individualized support plan, identifying goals and strategies that fit this specific person.

Family Involvement:

We'll typically schedule a check-in call or meeting during week two to share observations, address any concerns, and get your input.

Week 3-4: Finding Rhythm

Routines Take Shape:

By weeks three and four, most clients are settling into patterns:

• Familiarity with daily schedule
• Developing relationships with preferred staff
• Participating in activities
• Following house routines more independently
• Better sleep and eating patterns
• Reduction in transition-related distress

Goal Setting:

With a clearer picture of strengths and needs, we'll work with you and the regional center to establish concrete goals for the next 3-6 months.

Community Integration Begins:

We start incorporating community activities based on the person's interests - maybe outings to preferred stores, restaurants, or parks.

30-Day Review

End of Month Meeting:

Around day 30, we conduct a formal review that includes:

• Discussion of adjustment and progress
• Any concerns or issues that arose
• Updates to the support plan
• Family feedback and observations
• Next steps and upcoming goals
• Changes to medication or health needs
• Questions from family

This is a collaborative conversation. Your insight about how your loved one is doing - both from direct observation during visits and from your knowledge of their history - is valuable.

What Families Often Worry About

"What if they hate it?"

Some initial resistance is normal. We give it time while ensuring safety and wellbeing. True incompatibility is rare, but if it becomes clear this isn't the right placement, we work with the family and regional center on alternatives.

"Will they forget about me?"

No. Family relationships remain incredibly important. We encourage ongoing involvement through visits, calls, attending appointments together, and participation in planning meetings.

"What if something goes wrong?"

We have emergency protocols for medical issues, behavioral crises, or other problems. You'll be contacted immediately for serious concerns. For minor issues, we'll handle them and keep you informed.

"Am I abandoning them?"

You're not. You're ensuring they have professional support and opportunities they need to thrive. Many families feel guilt initially, but over time recognize this was the right decision.

Tips for a Smoother Transition

For Your Loved One:

• Bring familiar items from home (favorite blanket, photos, etc.)
• Maintain regular contact initially, then gradually adjust
• Visit consistently in the first month

A: It varies based on client needs and time of day. We maintain ratios that ensure safety and quality support. Intensive behavioral support may include one-on-one staffing.

Q: Is it the same staff every day?

A: We strive for consistency and have regular assigned staff, but some rotation is inevitable due to days off, shifts, and vacation coverage.

About Costs & Funding

Q: How much does residential care cost?

A: For regional center funded clients, there's no out-of-pocket cost to families. The regional center pays for authorized services.

Q: What if the regional center denies services?

A: You have the right to appeal denials through the fair hearing process. We can provide information to support your appeal.

Q: Are there any fees families pay?

A: Generally no for regional center clients. Any additional costs (like special outings or activities not covered by regional center) would be discussed in advance.

About Transitions

Q: How long do people typically stay?

A: It varies greatly. Some clients stay for years. Others transition to less restrictive settings after months of skill building. We work toward each person's goals, whatever those may be.

Q: What if this placement doesn't work out?

A: We work hard to make placements successful, but sometimes it's not the right match. In those cases, we work with the family and regional center to find alternative placements.

Q: Can someone move to less intensive services if they improve?

A: Yes. As clients gain skills and stability, we support transitions to less restrictive settings when appropriate.
