RFP for a Temporary Housing Program for People with Acute Mental Health Needs

Allegheny County, through its Department of Human Services (DHS), is seeking Proposals from multiple qualified Proposers to provide temporary (6-12 months) supported housing to adults with mental health (MH) conditions; these individuals often have an extensive history with behavioral and physical health services, including significant emergency and crisis care. Clients may also have recently experienced a hospitalization or a significant crisis or be stepping down from a longer-term treatment facility. The Successful Proposer(s) will offer housing that is safe, clean and supportive, and that enables Clients to work with a community-based MH service team on recovery goals and psychiatric stabilization to rebuild independent living skills. Clients must successfully transition into housing without on-site staff within 6-12 months.

Join us for a virtual information session on Tuesday, October 1 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time.

Proposals must be submitted electronically on DHS’s Bonfire Portal. Please see the RFP for more details.
