Transitional Housing for individuals who are Justice Involved

The Office of Mental Health continues to invest in community-based housing programs that address the complex needs of certain populations.

This funding opportunity is for the development and operation of up to ten transitional treatment apartment housing programs throughout the State. The programs will support individuals with a serious mental illness 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)

In addition to a mental illness, individuals may also have a substance use disorder, physical health care needs, or a combination of all three.

Attention

UPDATE 3/20/2025

Please note that there is corrected language for the 5.3 Operating Funding section of the RFP document. “Ongoing funding to support the operation of the apartment treatment units will be

provided by (1) a combination of SSI and Medicaid funding, consistent with the OMH fiscal model for the Treatment Apartment residential program and (2) State Aid totaling $22,800 per bed per year for Downstate programs and $21,800 per bed per year for Upstate programs. Each agency’s current programmatic structure will determine specific funding amounts. Site specific property costs for the new apartment treatment beds will also be incorporated into the successful applicant’s Gross, Income, and Net (GIN) fiscal model and paid for with SSI revenue and state-aid in the event the GIN model’s anticipated SSI revenue is not adequate to cover 100% of the expense.

In addition, Program Development Grant (PDG) funds are available as part of this contract to assist with establishing these Treatment Apartment units. PDG funding will be based on the most current rate at the time of opening, which is currently $9,677 per bed.
