New York has led the nation in affordable housing preservation and construction. The State Fiscal Year 2023-24 Enacted Budget continues funding to advance Governor Hochul's comprehensive plan for affordable and supportive housing to ensure New Yorkers have access to safe and secure housing. The State has committed this funding in order to create or preserve affordable and supportive housing units. New York will invest a portion of these resources to specifically address vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness. To ensure the maximum benefit of this investment, the State will utilize the existing federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) model that engages localities and not-for-profit (NFP) providers in developing and implementing data-driven strategies to address homelessness in specific populations such as victims of domestic violence, runaway and homeless youth and formerly incarcerated individuals (see Section 1.4 for full list of eligible target populations). The State intends to develop a total of 20,000 units over a period of 15 years. As such, the State is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to advance the goal of developing 1,400 units of supportive housing annually for persons identified as homeless with special needs, conditions, or other life challenges. The contracts awarded in response to this RFP will be for five-year terms. Questions Due must be received by 2PM 10/30/2023. Questions must be submitted via email to: Carol Swiderski Contract Management Specialist 2 ESSHI Questions carol.swiderski@omh.ny.gov
