Funding Award Details

OMH will deficit fund two types of supportive housing: Supportive Single Room Occupancy Housing (SP/SRO) or Community Residence/Single Room Occupancy housing (CR/SRO). OMH can provide some capital funds and projects are required to secure financing through 4% As of Right Tax Credits and/or bonding through the New York State Housing Finance Agency (HFA) or the Dormitory Authority State of New York (DASNY).

Amount Details

$14,081 per unit for CR/SROs in metropolitan NYC (this amount includes client income).

$12,457 per unit outside metropolitan NYC.

Tenants receive Level II Congregate Care, a higher reimbursement from Supplimental Security Income (SSI), allowing for higher rents.

Term

25 years or longer.

Network Notes

A CR/SRO must be licensed by OMH.

OMH has indicated a preference to do mixed development and include SROs within a larger affordable housing project. Recently developed SROs have used tax credits as capital financing. Historically, nonprofits experienced in OMH licensed housing utilized the CR/SRO model and agencies new to OMH were more inclined to opt for the SP/SRO model. The funding for the two models is very similar.

For More Information

OMH does not have an open RFP and existing pipeline units have been frozen since 2008, due to State budget shortfalls.
