Redwood Coast Regional Center

What Redwood Coast Regional Center does

Redwood Coast Regional Center (RCRC) is a private nonprofit organization established in 1983 and headquartered in Ukiah, California, that serves as one of 21 statutorily designated regional centers under California's Lanterman Act and the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS). RCRC is the designated entry point for state-funded developmental disability services across Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, and Mendocino Counties — a rural Northern California territory encompassing approximately 30 cities and an estimated 101–250 employees distributed across six offices (Crescent City, Eureka, Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Lakeport, and Clearlake). Its core services include eligibility determination by multidisciplinary professional teams, person-centered community-based service coordination, the Self-Determination program, family cost participation programs, and purchase-of-service administration, delivered through in-person offices and a contracted network of community-based service providers.

RCRC's operating model is not technology-driven: no proprietary platform has been disclosed and the technology footprint consists of a CMS-based website (redwoodcoastrc.org), an internal eBilling system for provider invoicing, and Zoom-based virtual meetings. The organization is funded primarily through California DDS allocations tied to caseload and purchase-of-service expenditures; services are provided at no direct cost to eligible individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and no consumer pricing or alternative revenue streams exist. RCRC supplements DDS funding through its governance structure (Board of Directors, Client Benefit Fund, MHSA Grant) and broad community partnerships spanning tribal nations (Coyote Valley and Sherwood Valley Pomo Indians), disability advocacy organizations (Tri-County Independent Living, Mendo Leap, R.I.S.E., Medium Art Center), public agencies (Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, First 5 Humboldt, Humboldt and Del Norte SELPA), and informational outreach via website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, BlueSky), newsletter, and community events.
