The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared ODPANN 25-108, which gives information on a toolkit that is designed to assist providers with assessing and preparing for unexpected events to ensure the individuals they are supporting remain safe and continue to receive the services they need in the event of an emergency.

The Prepared People Save Lives Toolkit is available for download and use on the MyODP website.

It contains a Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA), which will:

  • Identify and rank different hazards (natural disasters, technology failures, human-caused dangers);
  • Look at how vulnerable the program is and figure out what may need improvement through planning factors; and
  • Allow for continuous process improvement annually, making services resilient, and more prepared for emergencies.

Please review the communication for more details.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared ODPANN 25-105. The purpose of this communication is to provide notice that the Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment will increase beginning in January 2026.

The SSI federal program provides benefits to adults and children who meet the SSA’s requirements for disability, income, and resources. This income benefit is designed to help qualified individuals meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. Periodically, COLA affects the maximum monthly allotment. Effective January 2026, the SSA increased the SSI allotment by 2.8 percent to reflect an increase in the cost of living.

To account for the new COLA, room and board agreements should be reviewed to determine appropriate adjustment. The Room and Board Residency Agreement § 6100.687 (DP 1077) is found on the MyODP website.

Please see the bulletin for additional information. If you have any questions, please reach out to your Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) Regional Office.
