OMH will fund up to $300,000 per unit and provide operating and services funding, which will range from $14,875 upstate to $16,481 downstate per unit per year. These amounts are subject to annual appropriations.
OMH will allocate funding for units in the following New York regions:
NYC: 300 units
Hudson River: 150 units
Long Island: 100 units
Central New York: 75 units
Western New York: 75 units
As you apply for these units, keep the following dates in mind:

- Mandatory bidders' conference: January 8, 2014 or January 9, 2014
- Application due date: February 10, 2014
OMH has stated a preference for mixed-development projects with funding from other sources to complete the financing for non-OMH units. The agency has limited the applicant pool to nonprofits with current OMH contracts and organizations that also participate in Health Homes.
