| Solicitation Profile |
New York State is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) opportunity to advance the five-year goal of developing 6,000 units of supportive housing over five years for persons identified as homeless with special needs, conditions, or other life challenges. Part of New York State’s Housing Plan includes an investment of new supportive housing resources and services to address vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness. Therefore, the availability of and access to various support services such as employment and training opportunities, parenting education, counseling, independent living skills training, primary healthcare, substance use disorder treatment and mental health care, child care, and benefits advocacy are critical components of any project funded under this plan. This RFP makes available up to $25,000 per unit annually in services and operating funds to support at least 1,200 units of permanent housing.
Funding through this RFP is available to support the service and operating needs of projects which may be in various stages of capital development; however, funding will not be made available to existing projects, which have already secured service and operating funds through other sources, as a means to enhance their existing subsidies. Any funds awarded to applicants under this RFP must be used for the purposes of providing supportive services to eligible target populations.
No capital funds are available through this RFP. The intent of this RFP is to provide the service and operating funding that is needed to operate the supportive housing units which will be developed through capital funding. Such capital funding mechanisms may include, but are not limited to: Homeless Housing and Assistance Program (HHAP), New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), private sources, other acceptable governmental agencies, or an applicant may partner with a project developer that has secured or is in the process of securing capital funding.
The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) will serve as the lead procurement agency for the RFP under the guidance of the Interagency Workgroup. Although the OMH is the lead, proposals submitted through this RFP do not have to be for mental health purposes but should serve the range of needs from the following agencies: Department of Health (DOH) – including the AIDS Institute, NYS Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), Office of Mental Health (OMH), Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV), Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA), and Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD).
