DHS is seeking appropriately qualified vendors to operate Tier II residences for families with children who have no other housing options available. Tier II residences, which operate in accordance with New York State Codes, Rules and Regulations, Title 18, Part 900 (18 NYCRR 900), provide temporary housing accommodations and social services to homeless families until viable housing alternatives become available. In addition to locating viable housing, the Tier II residence program stabilizes the family and promotes the move to independent living. Tier II residences must provide, at a minimum, social services, assistance in seeking permanent housing, assistance in seeking employment and linkages to child care and medical and behavioral (mental health and substance use) health care and recreation services. Services are provided on-site and/or through linkages with other community-based programs. Additionally, Non-Tier II certified residences would be expected to provide the same services as those listed above while certification as a Tier II is pending. Additionally, the City also seeks proposals for the Overnight Facility Program, pursuant to which contractors supply lodging to homeless families with children who apply for shelter at an intake facility during the hours of 10:00pm and 10:00am, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
