| Solicitation Profile |
The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) issues this Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit services for New York State confirmed Human Trafficking Victims under the NYS Response to Human Trafficking Program (RHTP).
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) was the first comprehensive national effort to address human trafficking. It provided for enhanced penalties for human trafficking crimes and special service programs to provide assistance to victims. The TVPA was a watershed development in addressing trafficking on a national level.
New York took steps to address this when the State enacted the Human Trafficking Law on June 6, 2007. The law represents a multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary approach to fighting the effects of human trafficking. In 2016, these laws were strengthened and allowed for service contractors to make direct referrals to the New York State Victims Referral Process that began after the 2007 law. This has led to a large increase in the amount of trafficking victims identified within the state.
These laws authorize services to New York State confirmed human trafficking victims who are unable to obtain assistance (hereinafter “eligible participants”) elsewhere because of their lack of an eligible immigration status. The services provided include access to case management services; emergency temporary housing assistance; health care; mental health counseling; legal services; drug addiction screening and treatment; language interpretation and translation services; English language instruction; and job training and placement services. Through contracts with regional providers as part of its Response to Human Trafficking Program, OTDA makes these services available to adult human trafficking victims and family members.
OTDA anticipates distributing RHTP funds for three-year contracts under this procurement. All program funds are State funds from the New York State budget specifically appropriated for combating human trafficking and which are subject to continued availability. Use of these funds must relate to service provision to foreign-born human trafficking victims who are unable to obtain assistance elsewhere because of their lack of eligible immigration status. Other costs, such as construction and renovation costs, are not allowable under this program. OTDA expects that all other funding options will be used before using State dollars through this project.
