When Ministry funded developmental services providers do not have the capacity to provide residential placement or care for individuals with a developmental disability, a privately owned developmental service provider may be contracted to provide a residential placement. Our program provides oversight to ensure these private residential providers meet or exceed the Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services quality assurance expectations and standards.
Outside Paid Resources are only utilized when no other MCCSS funded developmental service provider is able to accommodate the individual’s needs.
