PASSPORT (ODA) in Ohio

PASSPORT (ODA) covers in-home and community services only — it does not pay for residential placement in Ohio. The program serves 60+ elderly.

Enrollment and service authorization go through your service and support administrator (SSA), typically via your county board of developmental disabilities. They confirm eligibility, authorize the budget, and help select a provider.

Need a Residential Placement Instead?
