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, 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 vendor will perform all work offsite. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit or evaluation criteria in the initial request. Key dates and specific submission deadlines are not detailed in the source procurement description.
