Forensic Assertive Community Treatment Services

The New York government authority is seeking a vendor to provide Forensic Assertive Community Treatment services. The agency needs to serve justice-involved individuals with serious mental illness who have not been successfully engaged by the traditional mental health treatment and rehabilitation system. This initiative aims to solve the problem of under-managed disorders and complex needs among individuals who often have co-occurring substance use disorders, physical health disorders, trauma histories, engagement difficulties, and behavioral challenges. The scope of work requires adapting the evidence-based Assertive Community Treatment model to address specific risk and protective factors associated with arrest and recidivism. The selected provider must deliver these specialized mental health and rehabilitation services offsite. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency has not disclosed a set budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services. The source document does not specify the evaluation criteria or key dates for this procurement.
