OMH will serve as lead procurement agency for this RFP under the guidance of the ESSHI Interagency Workgroup (DOH & AIDS Institute, DHCR, OASAS, OCFS, OPDV, OTDA and OPWDD).
In furtherance of the goal of the Housing Plan to develop 6,000 supportive housing units, the ESSHI Interagency Workgroup announces this RFP for the development and operation of up to 250 units of Scattered-Site Supportive Housing for individuals with a serious mental illness (SMI) who are presently living in a NYS prison and will be released to one of the five boroughs of NYC or one of the counties specified in Section 1.2, and who would otherwise be homeless.
Referrals will be managed through the Re-entry Coordination System (RCS) run by the Center for Urban Community Services. The agency selected for this housing will be expected to participate in housing interviews via Video Teleconferences, accept forensic consumers through this process, and report admission decisions and discharges. Referrals with an Assisted Outpatient Treatment order must receive priority consideration for any housing vacancy. Further note that individuals with SMI, who meet one of the above criteria and also have other diagnoses or life challenges, including, but not limited to Substance Use Disorder or HIV/AIDs, are also eligible.
