Connecticut DMHAS/DSS Nursing Home for Complex Care Behaviors (NH-CCB) 2026

Connecticut DMHAS and DSS are procuring one statewide long-term-care provider to develop 45 skilled nursing beds for individuals with complex medical, behavioral-health, and criminal-justice histories. Proposals are due September 23, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET, but the required Letter of Intent deadline of August 10 has already passed, so this record is actionable only for organizations that satisfied that prerequisite.

FundingTotal funding available: TBD. Connecticut anticipates one award funded with state and federal dollars; the RFP does not publish a contract ceiling.

DeadlineSeptember 23, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET. Required Letter of Intent was due August 10, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET; organizations that did not submit the required LOI should not treat this as newly actionable.

Last verifiedAugust 30, 2026

Required next actionIf your organization submitted the required Letter of Intent by August 10, immediately complete the proposal for the 45-bed skilled-nursing model, document regulatory and financial standing, demonstrate experience operating a licensed skilled nursing facility with sufficient capacity, address behavioral-health and criminal-justice complexity, and submit by September 23, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET. If the LOI was not submitted, monitor DMHAS for a future reopening or successor procurement rather than assuming late entry is allowed.

Broad Eligibility

The RFP permits private provider organizations, Connecticut state agencies, and municipalities to submit, but states that final awards under the applicable federal grant requirements may be made only to private nonprofit organizations or Connecticut municipalities. Minimum qualifications include operating a licensed skilled nursing facility, good financial and regulatory standing, and capacity to support at least 45 beds for individuals with complex medical, psychiatric and/or criminal-justice histories who meet nursing-facility level-of-care requirements.

Atlas Analysis

Strategically important long-term-care and behavioral-health procurement, but not a fresh-entry opportunity because the required Letter of Intent closed August 10. Atlas therefore keeps the record Active only for organizations already in the procurement pipeline and lowers the score to reflect the closed prerequisite. The State has not disclosed the contract amount, so Atlas leaves the funding ceiling unclaimed.
