Solutions to End Homelessness Program (STEHP)

The New York State (NYS) Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) announces a funding opportunity for units of local government, local social services districts, tribal organizations and nonprofit corporations under the Solutions to End Homelessness Program (STEHP) funded through the Emergency Solutions Grants program (ESG) available through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and NYS homeless assistance funds. STEHP funding is intended to enhance and support the quality and quantity of facilities and services needed to address the needs of homeless individuals and families, and those households at risk of homelessness in NYS.

Contracts awarded under STEHP include federal funds from ESG which has a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 14.231. Regulations regarding ESG are pursuant to the Stewart B. McKinney Act as amended by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act (HEARTH). STEHP contractors are required to be in full compliance with any and all federal regulations. OTDA will notify contractors of any changes promulgated by HUD. OTDA is anticipating approximately $16 million in STEHP funds to be available for eligible providers in NYS for the first year of operation under this RFP. OTDA will make available statewide STEHP funds subject to appropriations from HUD and the NYS budget.

The Homeless Housing and Assistance Program RFP (NY) invites proposals from eligible applicants to obtain funding for housing initiatives aimed at low-income individuals facing homelessness. This program, governed by the New York Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, provides state-funded grants and loans for acquiring, constructing, or rehabilitating housing. Applications will be accepted on a continuous basis until funds are exhausted, ensuring ongoing support for those in need of stable housing solutions.
