Market Analysis Data for New Providers
ODDS is asking individuals applying to become a new provider to do market analysis for the area they are intending to operate their business. The market analysis for the metro tri-county area continues to show the area is saturated with open beds for adult residential homes; specifically in Washington County there are between 250- 300 openings and many adult providers have one resident or even sit empty for a significant period. Washington County still has a need for children’s foster/residential homes and adult providers who have experience that could support a 2B or 2M home or one that focuses on mental health and IDD; please contact ODDS for further details on what would meet these requirements.
ODDS Children’s Residential Services may also have needs that we are unaware of; for further information on this please contact: [email protected]
