Enhanced Step-Down Program – Mental Health and Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities

The Office of Mental Health, with the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, is seeking proposals from not-for-profit organizations to operate Enhanced Step-Down Programs.

These programs are for Adults with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities. They must include a specialized model of critical time intervention and transitional housing to support safe discharges from inpatient units and emergency departments.

OMH intends to award five programs throughout the State, serving:

  • New York City
  • Western New York
  • Central New York
  • Hudson River
  • Long Island
