Description

Public Health Solutions (PHS), on behalf of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), is releasing this concept paper for the following purpose: DOHMH, in cooperation with the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity (NYC Opportunity or NYCO), intend to adapt the C2C model for community organizations working with youth and their families in 33 TRIE neighborhoods. DOHMH and NYCO therefore propose to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for non-profit community-based organizations (e.g., serving one or more Mayor’s Taskforce on Racial Inclusion & Equity (TRIE) neighborhood(s) within the five boroughs, with genuine relationships with community stakeholders and residents). As part of their program application, CBOs will designate a mental health provider organization such as a clinic, hospital, community-based provider or agency that they will partner with to handle referrals for clinical evaluations and interventions. Mental health provider partners will also provide coaching and consultation to facilitate mental health and related issues.
