Transitional Housing for individuals who are Justice Involved

The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) is committed to investing in community-based housing that will support individuals with a serious mental illness (SMI) who are currently involved in the criminal justice system, pending release or recently released from incarceration, and/or subject to community supervision (i.e., probation, parole, court mandate). Individuals who are admitted to this program will be connected to community supports to facilitate the transition back to the community and a more independent housing setting. These supports may include a Safe Options Support (SOS) Team, Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team, Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) Team, Forensic Intensive Case Management (FICM), Intensive Mobile Treatment (IMT) Team, Critical Time Intervention (CTI) Team, or Specialty Mental Health Care Management (SMH CM). Based on the need for additional treatment apartment housing opportunities to advance this mission, NYS OMH is announcing this Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development and operation of up to ten transitional treatment apartment housing programs throughout New York State to support the above noted population.  In addition to a mental illness, individuals may also have a substance use disorder, physical health care needs, or a combination of all three.  Please note that within this target population group, individuals with an active Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Order must receive priority access for any housing vacancy. Notice: Notification of intent to apply should be made to the Local Governmental Unit (county director of community services) for each county to be served under the program application, as defined in Section 41 of the New York State Mental Hygiene Law.
