NYS OASAS Releases RFP for $2 Million to Fund Permanent Supportive Housing for Homeless Families in NYC

NY/NY III Permanent Supportive Housing for Homeless Families - Round Four  New York State OASAS has released an RFP for $2,000,000 that will support up to 80 units of permanent supportive housing for homeless families in New York City where the head of household has a substance use disorder and is at risk of being homeless or is currently homeless.  This RFP is another component of the New York/New York III Agreement that has brought together many State and City agencies and departments in a multi-year effort to address homelessness.
