 NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Coordinated Family
Support Network Concept Paper
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)
plans to end all existing Family Support Services contracts in favor
of five borough-based Family Resource Centers (FRC) and one Family
Support Liaison Center (FSLC). The FSLC will promote and coordinate
family-driven services, provide training for the FRCs. DOHMH
anticipates total funding for the five Family Resource Centers (FRC)
to be $3.2 million; $250,000 is expected to be available for the
Family Support Liaison Center (FSLC).
The plan is based on the model used to reform homeless services in
the city. DOHMH anticipates that the request for proposals for these
contracts will be released in May 2007, with proposals due soon
afterwards. DOHMH hopes to select contractors by July in order to
begin operations by April 1, 2008. The contract terms will feature
an initial three-year period, and two three-year renewal options.
