All $25 million in capital housing funds for Fiscal Year 2025–2026 have now been awarded. DODD thanks Governor DeWine and the Ohio Legislature for making this funding possible. The strong results of the Community Capital Assistance Program, along with great work from county boards and nonprofit housing partners, helped fund 67 home purchases, nine new builds, and 264 renovations across 69 counties.

For more information, visit DODD's Community Capital Assistance Program page.

Thank you for your continued patience as DODD works through Place on the Path to Community Employment (PPCE) updates.

Important information about upcoming changes to PPCE data entry, timelines, data accuracy steps, and the roles needed in Salesforce is now posted on DODD's Outcome Tracking Data Website. Please review the full details so you can prepare for these changes.

If you have any questions, please email Lindsay.Terry-Stine@dodd.ohio.gov.

DODD has received many questions about Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 5123-9-03, which outlines the limit on the number of hours and overtime in a work week. The department has developed guidance to give direction and help providers and county boards work better together on authorization of hours in general. All hours must be approved in the person’s plan prior to the hours being worked and billed for services. This includes any overtime hours.

Please read the guidance in this Word document and contact waiverpolicyta@dodd.ohio.gov with any questions.  

The ImagineIS application will be decommissioned on February 19, 2026. After this, plans and reports will no longer be accessible through the ImagineIS app or portal.

To ensure compliance with applicable rules and to avoid disruption, DODD strongly encourages you to download and securely store all necessary documentation (including service plans and reports) prior to February 19.

What This Means

• The ImagineIS application will no longer be available to you or your agency. Your agency may have documents, reports, and other materials that have not been saved outside of ImagineIS. If you're unsure which documents or reports you need to retain, please review these guidelines:
• Rule 5123-9-06
• Rule 5123-9-40 



What You Need to Do

• Download all relevant plans and reports from ImagineIS before February 19, 2026.
• Store or archive these documents in a secure and accessible location that meets your agency's record retention policies and audit readiness standards.
• Ensure your team is aware of this change and has a plan in place to complete the download process in time.

You will still be able to access information through CRM-IDS. A blue tile will be within your applications that states "IDS" so you can continue entering demographic information, Level of Care, and other important data. 

If you have any questions or need assistance with accessing or downloading documentation, please contact the Call Center at 800-617-6733.

An Administrative Resolution Job Aid is now available to assist county boards with the Administrative Resolution Process. 

This job aid outlines the types of resolutions, notice of requirements, and timelines under Rule 5123-4-04.  

For questions, please email waiverpolicyta@dodd.ohio.gov.
