In response to the State of California's significant budget crisis, the Department of Developmental Services will be hosting three public forums to receive input from consumers, family members, service providers and other stakeholders on draft proposals to achieve $174 million in General Fund savings. In developing the proposals, the Department conducted an on-line survey and met with stakeholder workgroups in eight service areas: Behavioral Services; Day, Supported Employment and Work Activity Programs; Early Start Services; Health Care and Therapeutic Services; Independent and Supported Living Services; Residential Services; Respite and Other Family Support Services; and Transportation Services. From these discussions, the Department is drafting proposals that will be made available on the Department's website prior to the public forums.
