https://oasas.ny.gov/supplemental-funding-opportunities

Note:  All 3 documents are relevant however Attachment C tells providers how they can spend the money.  I am told more documents will be posted on Monday.

Friday Update:

Good evening,

A very wonderful NYS Council member agency CEO just called to give me a heads up that I wanted to pass on to everyone.

Earlier today OASAS sent out an email that went to the CEO or Executive Director of those OASAS providers that are eligible for the first round of Workforce Development/Training grant funds.   Last week, OASAS sent a more general email to eligible providers, informing the agency that it was eligible and foreshadowing what to expect.  The email sent today from OASAS is much more specific.

We have removed the provider specific survey from the email pasted (below) but please note that you must click on your survey in the email you received today to see your award amount.

Not sure if anything went out from OMH today.  If someone received a similar email from OMH please share!
