The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) requests your assistance sharing Bulletin 00-25-01: Room and Board for Individuals Enrolled with the Office of Developmental Programs and 5 of the accompanying attachments. The sixth attachment referenced in the bulletin, a version of the Room and Board Agreement translated in Spanish, will be released soon.

There will be time during the sessions to answer questions submitted by participants during the webinars. For this reason, ODP kindly asks stakeholders to save questions about the bulletin until after the training is held.
