MODDC Public Comment | 5-Year State Plan
MODDC identified three priority areas for our work in the next 5-year state plan: 
  1. Advocacy, Empowerment, and Policy Engagement
  2. Dignified Community Access
  3. Employment
At our January and March 2026 Council meetings, members drafted goals and objectives for the next five years. We are asking the public to provide feedback on this draft plan.

The Council is accepting public comment until May 11, 2026.

Your feedback will be anonymous.
