RFP-UC25-009 - HOUSING INITIATIVE FOR INDIVIDUALS IN RECOVERY

The Ulster County Department of Mental Health (DMH) announces this Request for Proposals (RFP) for a qualified contractor or contractors to provide Recovery Housing Services for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring mental health challenges. DMH is seeking to provide initial funding/startup support for recovery housing services in Ulster County using Opioid Settlement Funding. These funds are intended as a one-time allocation to support startup expenses associated with the provision of recovery housing services and thereby increase community capacity for treatment by growing the total amount of available recovery housing services in Ulster County.
This RFP seeks creative recovery housing services solutions. Please be advised that County funds awarded by this RFP may not be used for construction or renovation of real property without bidding, but may be used, for example, to lease real property in conjunction with the provision of recovery housing services. [Construction-like work will require bidding, payment of prevailing wage, and New York State Environmental Quality Review Act compliance.]
We reserve the right to award contracts to more than one contractor to provide these services if it is in the best interest of the County.
