These Guidelines apply to the operation of permanent supportive housing units funded by the Office of Mental Health (OMH) either through direct contract or through Local Government Unit (LGU) contracts.
Supportive Housing settings can be scattered-site or single-site developments. They include units developed under OMH’s Supportive Single Room Occupancy (SP-SRO) initiatives or the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI)

Technical Assistance for Supportive Housing Rehabilitative and Tenancy Support (RTS) SPA Implementation
OMH hosts monthly sessions for providers of supportive housing, SP-SROs, and CR-SROs that opt to receive State Aid for Medicaid-reimbursable RTS Services. This is an open forum for providers to ask questions about services and reporting requirements for eligible programs. Newly enrolled and existing participants are welcome.
We meet the first Thursday of the month, from 1pm - 2pm.
If you'd like to attend the provider monthly sessions, please email housing@omh.ny.gov
