| Solicitation Profile |
The Developmental Disabilities Regional Office (DDRO), Region 1 and the Finger Lakes DDRO Family Support Services (FSS) Advisory Council are pleased to announce the availability of funding to provide supports and services to families that care for a family member with a developmental disability living at home. The goal of family support services is to assist families to remain intact for as long as they desire and avoid unnecessary out of home placement.
Proposals are being accepted for Family Support Services that provide new or enhanced programs/services to individuals with developmental disabilities who live at home with their families. Individuals must have OPWDD eligibility at the time of receiving services. Proposals must address unserved/underserved individuals and their families with unmet needs.
Providers of Family Support Services under OPWDD must comply with all applicable NYS OPWDD regulations. Only incorporated not-for-profit agencies or other governmental agencies may apply.
The DDRO Region 1 Finger Lakes office is reinvesting FSS dollars in the amount of $153,626. The Finger Lakes DDRO includes ten counties which are broken down into three FSS regions. Funding is available as described below:
Region I (Monroe County): $ $153,626
Proposals should be for ongoing services, and awards will result in the development of a multiyear contract for up to five years. Individual contracts may be less than 5 years to coincide with the calendar year or existing contract term.
The total allocation of $153,626 is available for families who have a family member with a developmental disability living at home. Awards will be made for proposals addressing the identified local district priority needs as noted on page 2, at the sole discretion of the FY 2019 RFP (Re-Issue) Review Committee.
Anticipated program start-up for successful applicants will be 07/01/2019 as specified below. Changes to this date must be reviewed/approved by the local DDRO. The grantee is responsible for communication with the DDRO to monitor progress towards commencement of program. Continued annual funding is contingent upon satisfactory service performance and continued availability of state and federal funds.
PRIORITY NEEDS:
For Region I, up to $153,626 of the total amount of funding available will be awarded for programs that meet the following needs:
1.) Transportation- programs that provide transportation assistance to access community supports and services (this excludes transportation to/from an HCBS Waiver service in which transportation is part of the billable rate).
2.) Expansion of an existing program with documented need, excluding Family Reimbursement. We will not be considering expansion to FR programs with this funding.
Please note: Please include the names or Tabs numbers of individuals the program will serve.
