Family Home Agency-AB637 Waiver Request
For AB/637 public notice
Central Valley Regional Center (CVRC) currently contracts with Unique Families, Family Home Agency (FHA). A Family Home Agency (FHA) approves family homes which offer the opportunity for up to two adult individuals with developmental disabilities per home to reside with a family and share in the interaction and responsibilities of being part of a family. CVRC is requesting a waiver to expand the definition of consumer as designed in the following.
Title 17, 56078 Public Notice
(a)When the regional center has determined the need for FHA services pursuant to Section 56077, the regional center shall give public notice of the intent to contract for FHA services.
We are requesting an extension of this arrangement until October 2029, recognizing the provider is currently supporting two foster children, ensuring all care needs continue to be met for the individual being served.
Budget analysis: CVRC does not anticipate that this arrangement will have a negative impact on the state and Regional Center budget.
Impact on consumers served: Approval of this waiver will not result in reducing direct services to the parent as the FHA will continue to provide the FHA's services and support.
A public hearing will be held to receive comments on the proposal. The time, date, and location of the hearing is as follows:
Date: 5/29/26
Time: 9:00am-10:00pm
Location: Central Valley regional Center, 4615 N. Marty, Fresno CA 93722
(California room)
