Families navigating California’s Self-Determination Program (SDP) are often left without clear guidance when it comes to housing.

While SDP gives individuals and families more freedom and control over services and supports, housing remains one of the most complex areas to plan and manage.

SDP Housing was created to address that gap.

As a specialized service offering by Zinc Integrated, SDP Housing supports families in designing, implementing, and managing housing solutions that align with an individual’s Individual Program Plan (IPP), approved SDP budgets, and long-term goals — all while maintaining continuity between housing, programming, and clinical care.

what is sdp housing?

California’s Self-Determination Program, established under Senate Bill 468 and administered by the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS), gives individuals and families more control over how services are selected, funded, and delivered through their regional center.

Housing is one of the most critical — and most challenging — components of an SDP plan.

SDP Housing refers to the coordinated planning and management of housing-related supports within the SDP framework, including:

Approved housing options
Staffing and direct support models
Clinical and therapeutic services
Budgeting and SDP-compliant funding structures

All aligned under a single, integrated plan that supports independence, stability, and quality of life.

our approach

At Zinc Integrated, we don’t treat housing as a standalone service.

We design housing in direct coordination with programming and clinical support, ensuring that each component of an individual’s SDP plan works together and aligns with regional center and DDS requirements.

Our approach focuses on:
Continuity between housing, staffing, and therapeutic services
Compliance with SDP guidelines and regional center requirements
Long-term sustainability, not short-term placements
Quality of life, independence, and stability

This integrated model helps families avoid fragmented services and creates a more cohesive, person-centered plan.
