Solicitation Profile
The New York State Department of Health (DOH) is re-issuing this Request for Applications (RFA)entitled "Healthy Neighborhoods Preventive Health Cornerstones" to solicit applications to participate in the NYSDOH Healthy Neighborhoods Program (HNP). The HNP is designed to provide preventive environmental health services to targeted geographic areas. These areas sometimes include environmental justice communities and are usually home to at-risk populations including low-income and often minority families, living in homes and neighborhoods with a disproportionate number of residential hazards. The funds will provide the resources needed to address significant public health issues in targeted areas to provide a healthier home environment for the citizens of New York State. Improving home environments is a cornerstone for improving public health and builds the foundation for healthier generations to come. To address the environmental health needs in these neighborhoods, the grant funds are to be used to implement a HNP, with emphasis on reducing residential injuries, childhood lead poisoning, hospitalizations due to asthma, and exposure to indoor air pollutants.

The total anticipated funding available for distribution is $3,920,052 annually. It is anticipated that 15-20 contracts will be awarded as a result of this RFA. Contracts will be issued for a five-year cycle (April 1, 2020– March 31, 2025) with annual budgets and workplans required. Each contract will be funded at a maximum award of $275,000 per year.

Questions are due 7/26/19 and answers will be posted on or about 8/12/19. Please see RFA for further information.
