Additionally, DCRC connects members to supplemental food programs and government benefits.Transition Services Providing support and guidance to adults and youth to divert or move from institutional settings to community-based living or post-secondary school life.Beyond these services, DCRC provides technical assistance, education, and community outreach on a broad range of disability-related issues, ensuring that individuals with disabilities have the tools and support they need to live independently and fully participate in their communities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
