One-time set-up expenses for self-advocates moving from developmental centers into the community.

A regional center shall classify a vendor as a Transition/Set Up Expenses provider if the vendor provides one-time set-up expenses to assist individuals who are moving from an institution to their own home. These expenses fund some of the initial set-up costs that are associated with obtaining and securing an adequate living environment and address the individual’s health and safety needs when he or she enters a new living environment.

You will be moving into a residential home in the community after 21 years living at a developmental center. You need some new clothes, furniture, personal care items, and other things to help your transition and address health and safety needs.
