Request for Additional DSP & Family Stakeholders for 1-Person Licensed Residential Homes Discussion

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) is hosting a series of discussion boards and focus groups focused on 1-person licensed residential homes. The discussion boards will be online forums open for 48 hours, allowing participants to log in and out at their convenience throughout the two-day period. Total participation time is expected to be about 2 – 3 hours, and the forums will be semi-anonymous (participants will be identified only by first name). Focus groups will follow the discussion boards and will be scheduled at a later date.

ODP continues to seek participants for the DSP and family stakeholder group. Interested individuals should submit their name, agency (if applicable), and contact information to ODP’s Executive Assistant Jordan Kembel electronically.
