Funding to help develop and operate supportive housing across New York
New York State released three Requests for Proposals (RFPs) last week to fund the development of new supportive housing programs across the state.
Among them, the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) released its 2014 Homeless Housing and Assistance Program (HHAP) RFP. This RFP will provide $63 million in capital for the development of supportive housing projects throughout the state. OTDA will begin accepting applications for funding on June 30, 2014. This is an open-ended RFP, which means proposals will be accepted on a continual basis. You can read our complete overview of this RFP here.
The NYS Office of Mental Health also released an RFP for the development and operation of up to 154 units of Supported Housing in New York City. These units will house individuals who have a serious mental illness and meet a number of additional criteria. Applications for this RFP are due July 15 with a letter of intent due June 10.
Lastly, OMH also released a similar RFP for up to 100 units of Supported Housing on Long Island. Like the above RFP, applications are due July 15 with a letter of intent due June 10.
We encourage all our members to learn more about these RFPs!
