Section 6350.1 - Introduction

The Family Resource Services (FRS) Program is designed to offer a variety of services to the family which has a family member with an intellectual disability living within the community, as well as to individuals with an intellectual disability who reside in community settings. The intent of the FRS Program is to reduce the need for institutionalization. The primary purpose of the FRS Program is:

(1) To provide adequate resources within the community to enable the family with a family member with an intellectual disability to maintain that member at home with minimal stress or disruption to the family unit.
(2) To provide adequate resources within the community to enable the individual with an intellectual disability to remain in a family context in a community setting, thus leading as normal a life as possible.
