DSS/HRA intents to enter into a Negotiated Acquisition (NA) contract for continuity of NYCBenefits program management from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027 with three community-based organization (CBO) providers: BronxWorks, Community Service Society, Montefiore Medical Center. The NYCBenefits grants program, which launched in January 2023 as part of a new, cross-agency, cross-sector effort to connect eligible New Yorkers to government benefits, currently funds direct service and technical assistance providers. These grants were awarded and administered by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), managed by the Mayor’s Public Engagement Unit (PEU), and funded through the NYC Department of Social Services (DSS)’s budget. In June of 2023, day-to-day program management for this initiative shifted from the PEU to DSS. The January 2024 Plan PEG Initiatives for DSS included efficiencies through the insourcing of contract oversight for NYCBenefits.
