Solicitation Profile
The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) invites applications from not-for-profit and for-profit providers for the development and operation of Community Based Residential Programs (CBRP) for individuals under Community Supervision. The CBRP is a housing initiative to assist parolees under the jurisdiction of DOCCS to attain stability in the community while providing for individual case needs and community safety. CBRPs provide food, counseling, and other services such as substance abuse treatment, educational/vocational training, mental health and social services to residents either directly or through referral to credentialed providers. (Note: a CBRP is not to be confused with Substance Use Residential Treatment Programs). To be eligible for an award, programs must have a current and valid Certificate of Occupancy (COO). For initial award, applicants must have the demonstrated ability to start the program on May 1, 2018, or upon approval by the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC). An approved site visit may be required by DOCCS within 10-days of a tentative contract award notification by the Commissioner.
The components of this RFA are as follows:
A CBRP provides a structured setting and services for a period of up to 120-days, with
extensions available upon approval of DOCCS’ Re-Entry Contract Manager, to the
following client groups:
Client Group A: Newly released parolees from state or local correctional facilities who do not have an acceptable residence.
Client Group B: Parolees who require increased supervision and structure in order to change behavior patterns which, given case circumstances, may otherwise lead to re-incarceration; and/or
require removal from their current living environment due to crisis situations or need for temporary housing.
Client Group C: Parolees with mental health, physical and/or medical concerns.
Client Group D: Parolees who have a history of sex offense(s) and/or arson.

Many of the parolees have histories of chemical dependency, mental illness, unemployment, health concerns, and substandard housing. They are released from state or local incarceration after convictions for offenses for which they continue to serve a sentence that was imposed by a local County Court. They generally are returning to the communities where they were residing at the time of their arrest.

DOCCS reserves the right to award more than one contract for a Catchment Area based on the need for residential programs that include Client Group D.

DOCCS seeks to establish Community Based Residential Programs throughout New York State under the following general provisions and designated Catchment areas as listed in RFA 2017-07.
