# New York Seeks Utica Housing Redevelopment Proposals

New York State has issued an RFP for redevelopment of a 6.13-acre parcel at the Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center campus in Utica. Proposals must provide at least 50 supportive housing units for people with serious mental illness and approximately 100 additional affordable units, and address demolition and infrastructure improvements. Responses are due February 1, 2027. OMH capital funding is expected to support construction of the supportive units, while NY-RUSH funding may help offset site costs; no project-specific allocation or operating funding is identified.

- Developers and construction teams should evaluate the parcel’s demolition and infrastructure scope alongside the required supportive and affordable housing mix when developing proposals.
- **Key deadline:** Responses are due February 1, 2027. The opportunity is associated with the $500 million NY-RUSH initiative, but that figure is not a project-specific award amount.
- Companies developing financial plans should account for the absence of identified operating funding and treat potential NY-RUSH support for site costs as unallocated.
