Hello,
Earlier this year New York State announced a $1 billion investment into mental health care. Our partners at The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), have released 6 new Requests for Proposals in the past month to start driving this critical work forward.
The Mayor’s Office of Community Mental Health (OCMH) shares a commitment to meet the mental health needs of New Yorkers. In addition, we are committed to improving equitable access to resources hence we want to make sure you, our partners here in NYC, are aware of these opportunities for funding.
New York is aligned, on both the state and city level, that funding should go to diverse organizations serving their communities. Organizations of all sizes and experiences are encouraged to apply. Please check out the open opportunities and share them widely: New York State Office of Mental Health Request for Proposals (RFP) and Request for Information (RFI) (ny.gov).
OCMH is interested in facilitating connections for community-based organizations/Behavioral Health Providers in support of your application. If, after reviewing the RFP, you are interested in: 1) potentially applying as a sub grantee, 2) are looking for sub grantees, or 3) seeking potential partners - please complete this form by 8/4 so that OCMH can help facilitation connections for you.
