About The Master Plan for Developmental Services
Over the last few years, in partnership with the Legislature, the Newsom Administration has made historic investments to increase rates within the developmental services system. The Master Plan will leverage these investments to strengthen accessibility, quality, and equity for all consumers.
In recognition that California’s developmental disabilities system is deeply connected to other health and social systems, the Master Plan will seek to create and strengthen bridges that connect the developmental services system to other critical systems across CalHHS, and other systems and services including education, housing, employment, transportation, and safety.
Individuals who receive services today are more diverse and live longer. They face affordable housing shortages, lower rates of employment, and the challenges of accessing services from other systems and sectors to address their physical, social, and behavioral health needs.
A 21st century developmental services system must increase its ability to provide culturally responsive services and to strengthen the accountability and standardization of the system so that it is easier for individuals and their families to navigate no matter where they live in California.

Community Engagement
CalHHS will soon launch a public engagement campaign to engage individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, families, and system partners in the communities and neighborhoods across the state to better understand their hopes and dreams for a 21st century developmental services system.
This Master Plan will not be developed in a vacuum in Sacramento, instead, it will look to meet people where they are to collectively learn about their lived experiences and use that to help shape the future of this system—a system that looks to provide culturally responsive services which meet the diverse needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
If you would like to host a roundtable discussion in your community or have recommendations of places or communities for us to highlight, please email us at DSMasterPlan@chhs.ca.gov.
