In California, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are supported by the Department of Developmental Services, which holds the responsibility for placement, case management, and monitoring of clients in residential placement to the regional centers. Residents of Hillside are referred by the Regional Center System. Locally, Tri-County Regional Center administers the placement of individuals with I/DD within the counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura.
