About this file

This is a Request for Applications (RFA) issued by the New York State Department of Health, Office of Health Equity and Human Rights, for the Migrant and Seasonal Worker Program (MSWP). The RFA seeks qualified public and not-for-profit, community-based health and human service organizations with recognized ties to the Migrant and Seasonal Worker population to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health and social support services. The program comprises two components: Component 1 addresses services to Migrant and Seasonal Workers and their families across designated economic development regions, and Component 2 focuses on services to children of Migrant and Seasonal Workers. The contract period is four years with an annual allocation of $351,431, totaling $1,405,724 for the full term. Funding is derived from New York State and federal sources. The Department aims to maintain and enhance existing service capacity while advancing health equity objectives and improving health outcomes for the MSW population and their families.

The RFA prioritizes organizations with established relationships and cultural competence within the Migrant and Seasonal Worker community. Eligible applicants must demonstrate experience delivering health and human services to this population. The funding structure supports organizations serving geographically dispersed regions within New York State, with the goal of ensuring equitable access to services regardless of worker location or status. The Department's commitment to health equity, formally adopted in 2024, underscores the application's emphasis on removing barriers to optimal health based on individual characteristics or geographic location. Additional program requirements and specifications are detailed in supplementary attachments, including economic development region designations and component-specific service parameters.
