Network Notes
New York/New York III is a City-State agreement to create 9,000 units of supportive housing in NYC by 2016. 3,950 units were contracted for "population A."
- Under the agreement, OMH had 750 scattered-site units and 425 congregate units.
- DOHMH had 1,750 units, all congregate.
OMH issued requests for proposals (RFPs) for their units in the first few years of the Agreement; DOHMH had one rolling RFP for their share of the units.
In the case of congregate units, these awards are conferred as soft commitments until the building is in construction.
Generally, providers applying to OMH have an option to develop a licensed CR-SRO or a SP-SRO for a minimum of 45 individuals and a maximum of 60. Most projects house 45-65 individuals, depending on the size of the site and other variables. Applicants to DOHMH have no unit restrictions.
All of the units for this population have been awarded, and the RFP for the funding of these units is now closed
