Justice-Involved Supportive Housing (Open-Ended) This Request for Proposal is intended to procure and make available permanent supportive housing units for adults (18+); initially, DOHMH anticipates that the population would be comprised mainly of individuals who are frequently cycling through jail and shelter who have a mental illness and/or substance use disorder. DOHMH anticipates that the population matches may expand to include individuals who, in addition to having frequent contact with the criminal justice system and the homeless system, have also had frequent contact with the mental health treatment system. The goals and objectives of the JISH program are to: provide rapid access to supportive housing units in some combination of scattered or congregate housing for individuals with recent and frequent contact with the criminal justice system, the homeless services systems, and the mental health treatment systems who have a mental illness or substance use disorder; provide case management services in order to link tenants to health and behavioral health services, as well as other resources in order to prevent further use of jail, shelter, or other emergency services. Services will be easily accessible and will occur in JISH apartment units, program sites, and in the community; and provide case management to successfully maintain housing, link and engage with service providers, and support positive integration of individuals into the community in order to decrease homelessness and criminogenic behaviors.
