2020 Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative RFP Data

The following numbers were developed from a time-limited real time data collection conducted by OPWDD’s regional offices. These numbers are the extrapolated annual requests for housing by people who meet the following ESSHI criteria.  These criteria are:

1. People at least 18 years of age who are eligible for OPWDD services who are seeking housing;
2. People who were identified as being at imminent risk of homelessness due to potential loss of caregiver; and
3. People being referred from institutional settings (including development centers, intermediate care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, prisons, and residential schools).
