OPEN-ENDED REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR JUSTICE INVOLVED SUPPORTIVE HOUSING

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) continues to seek proposals for JISH Request for Proposals (RFP) through the HHS Accelerator system. This RFP is issued and remains available through the HHS Accelerator system only to those organizations prequalified in the relevant service areas. Proposals will be accepted on an on-going basis submitted through the HHS Accelerator system in the manner set forth in the 'Procurements' section of the system by those same prequalified organizations. Go to www.nyc.gov/hhsaccelerator to learn more.

This Request for Proposal is intended to procure and make available permanent supportive housing units for adults (18+); initially, DOHMH anticipates that the population would be comprised mainly of individuals who are frequently cycling through jail and shelter who have a mental illness and/or substance use disorder. DOHMH anticipates that the population matches may expand to include individuals who, in addition to having frequent contact with the criminal justice system and the homeless system, have also had frequent contact with the mental health treatment system.
