RFP Closed - Mayor's Fund and The Department of Social Services
The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, in collaboration with the NYC Department of Social Services (DSS) and Department of Homeless Services (DHS), is advancing the development of a secure, HIPAA-compliant data exchange system to support care coordination and discharge planning for individuals experiencing homelessness.
DHS is implementing REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) to replace fragmented, email- and PDF-based workflows with a centralized, secure platform that enables real-time coordination with health care providers. This system will support multiple DHS health programs, including Institutional Referral Program (IRP), Complex Care Coordination, and Harm Reduction initiatives.
To ensure sustainability, security, and performance, DHS seeks a qualified consultant to support the deployment, maintenance, and optimization of a REDCap environment hosted in the DSS Amazon Web Services (AWS) tenant with integrations into agency systems.
RFP Closed - Mayor's Fund and the Mayor's Office of Child Care and Early Childhood Education
The Mamdani Administration is committed to delivering universal child care to all New Yorkers, and has empowered the Mayor’s Office of Child Care and Early Childhood Education (MOCCECE) to advance this priority. The role of MOCCECE is to lead strategy and coordinate planning among city agencies; foster
innovation in partnership with families, providers, experts, and the private sector; and promote effective communication, policy advocacy, and public engagement. MOCCECE serves as a central hub for citywide policy implementation and coordination across more than a dozen agencies, including New York City Public Schools, the Administration for Children’s Services, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Department of Social Services, and other City agencies and offices, and fosters strategic partnerships with all levels of government, private entities, nonprofits, and foundations. MOCCECE works closely with families and providers to ensure their voices are represented in the design and implementation of City policy and programs.
On behalf of MOCCECE, the Mayor’s Fund is seeking a vendor to conduct research to inform the branding and messaging for the City’s early care and education programs, make branding recommendations and create brand assets that align to the findings from the research, and develop a massive marketing campaign to bring families into the City’s early childhood system.
RFP Closed – Mayor's Fund & The Department of Social Services
The New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS) serves over 21,000 single adults daily across 126 shelters, approximately 50 of which are designated mental health shelters. These facilities face challenges including inconsistent staffing, limited resources, varied service types and levels, and insufficient clinical support. At the same time, residents of mental health shelters present with multiple and significant behavioral health needs, and experience significantly higher rates of emergency department utilization and inpatient stays compared to housed Medicaid recipients with similar profiles, often due to untreated or poorly managed conditions that shelter staff are not always able to support. Without timely access to mental health care and care coordination, clients cycle between hospitals, streets, shelters, and jails, creating instability and exacerbating health issues. The existing variability in clinical staffing and services across mental health shelters hinders effective support for these high-need individuals and slows their path to stable housing.
This project will address those needs by supporting staff recruitment and retention, giving shelter staff tools to better serve clients with mental health needs, and developing tools that HSO and DHS can continue to use to train and support mental health shelters. This will also entail coordinating and consolidating access to existing training resources across New York City.
