1. recently left or are leaving foster care or
2. have been in foster care for more than one year after their 16th birthday.

Eligible Applicants

$22,000 is the maximum annual per-unit amount.

Term

DOHMH anticipates that awarded contracts will be for an initial three (3) year period with two three (3) year options to renew.

Network Notes

• 200 units have been allocated for this population. The units are split 50/50 between congregate and scattered-site. All 200 units are being awarded under a rolling request for proposals (RFP) from DOHMH. The NYC Administration for Children's Services (ACS) and NYS Office of Children & Family Services (OCFS) fund the ongoing operations and support services for these contracts.
• In the case of congregate units, these awards are made as soft commitments until the building is in construction.  
• These units are expected to be built with capital subsidies from the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and/or NYS Homeless Housing Assistance Program (HHAP) and NYS Housing and Community Renewal (HCR).
• Given the high cost of housing in New York City, DOHMH encourages providers to leverage another rental subsidy source such as Section 8 or Shelter Plus Care. If providers can obtain this funding, DOHMH will reduce its overall contribution but allow for greater funding available for services.
