Report on the Plan for the Closure of Agnews Developmental Center
The Department of Developmental Services (DDS), in collaboration with the Bay Area regional centers (Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB), Golden Gate Regional Center (GGRC), San Andreas Regional Center (SARC)), consumers, families and other stakeholders, is nearing completion of a significant initiative grounded not only on the closing of Agnews Developmental Center (Agnews), but on the underlying principle that Agnews residents should be provided the opportunity to live in the community. The closure process is unlike any prior endeavor and the innovative housing, staffing and service delivery models are providing opportunities for consumers and families alike. This process has relied on establishment of a stable source of housing with new residential service options, a community health care system that assures access to needed services, and state staff who can support the transition of these residents to the community.
