No, a SNF-STP facility would not qualify for IST Infrastructure Project funding. This facility type does not align with the project’s goal of providing community-based housing options for DSH Diversion program participants. While the Request for Proposals (RFP) does not limit the licensure type, and allows for locked or unlocked housing types, the SNF-STP does not fit the proposed residential model and treatment requirements as outlined in the RFP, section 3.2. Acceptable facility types include, but are not limited to Supportive Transitional Housing, Board and Care, Adult Care Facilities, and Recovery Residences.
