Solicitation Profile
The Office of Mental Health announces this Request for Proposals (RFP) for the operation of a 56 bed Scattered-Site Supportive Housing Program located in Brooklyn that is currently operated by a not-for-profit agency. Of the 56 beds, 40 are funded for individuals with a serious mental illness and/or co-occurring substance use disorder who are eligible under the NY/NY III Initiative (10 beds for Population A and 30 beds for Population B) and 16 beds target persons with a serious mental illness referred from State prison. This Scattered-Site Supportive Housing Program has been operational for many years and the units are currently tenanted; any future vacancies must be sited in Brooklyn for the target populations outlined above. Eligibility for the housing will be determined by the Human Resources Administration (HRA). Referrals for the NY/ NY III Population A units will be generated by the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) via the Coordinated Assessment and Placement System (CAPS). Referrals for NY/NY III Population B will be referrals from OMH operated psychiatric hospitals or OMH operated residential programs. Referrals from Kingsboro Psychiatric Center or South Beach Psychiatric Center should receive priority consideration for the Population B units although a provider may accept a referral from any OMH operated psychiatric hospital. For the forensic beds, the referrals process is managed through the Re-entry Coordination System (RCS) run by the Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS). The agency selected for this housing will be expected to participate in housing interviews via Video Teleconferences (VTC), accept forensic consumers through this process, and report admission decisions and discharges. Referrals with an Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) order must receive priority consideration for any housing vacancy.
