Funding Watch — Reissue Pending
The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) has confirmed that its earlier Promoting Wellness and Healing in Communities procurement was withdrawn on March 31, 2026 for refinement and would be re-issued. OMH continues to list Promoting Wellness and Healing in Communities on its tentative July 1-September 30, 2026 procurement schedule. As of September 7, 2026, OMH’s current RFP index does not show a new live solicitation number or proposal deadline for the reissue, so Atlas tracks this as a Funding Watch rather than an open grant.
What the Prior Round Was Designed to Fund
The withdrawn version was a statewide community mental-wellness and prevention initiative intended to help community-based organizations and partnerships strengthen resilience, healing and protective supports within defined communities. The prior version contemplated up to 20 awards of $750,000 each over three years, or up to $250,000 annually per awardee. Those figures are retained only as planning context and must not be assumed to carry forward into the reissued RFP.
Why This Matters
This is a potentially high-value behavioral-health and community-prevention pathway for organizations that can demonstrate trusted community presence, equitable reach, trauma-informed programming, measurable wellness outcomes, partnership capacity and sustainable implementation. The reissue may be especially relevant to community mental-health nonprofits, youth- and family-serving organizations, local coalitions, culturally specific organizations and other entities positioned to deliver non-crisis preventive mental-wellness supports.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 91/100 as a Funding Watch. The underlying program concept is strong and OMH has expressly signaled a reissue, but there is no current controlling solicitation, award ceiling, eligibility table, application method or deadline. Atlas therefore does not present prior-round terms as active.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 5/100. The withdrawn scope centered on community wellness, resilience and prevention rather than telehealth, connected clinical examinations or medical-device procurement. Atlas should not manufacture a technology pathway unless the reissued RFP expressly creates one.
Required Next Action
Organizations interested in this opportunity should pre-position a concise community-wellness concept, target population and geography, measurable prevention and resilience outcomes, partner roles, implementation staffing, equity strategy and sustainability plan. Monitor OMH’s procurement page for the reissued solicitation and, once released, verify the new applicant eligibility, award structure, allowable costs, Statewide Financial System requirements, questions period and proposal deadline before relying on any prior-round term.
