Bridge and transitional housing in Westchester operates under the county Continuum of Care standards, providing 90-day to 24-month placements with case management, with referrals routed exclusively through the Coordinated Entry system.
The Westchester Continuum of Care, which includes the county DSS, nonprofit providers, and the Westchester Coalition for the Hungry and Homeless, sets standards for bridge and transitional housing. Programs typically offer 90-day to 24-month stays with intensive case management, employment services, and behavioral-health linkages. NY State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance funds many programs. Self-referrals are not accepted; placements come through Coordinated Entry assessment ranking households by vulnerability. Programs operate under HUD CoC Program rules, NY OTDA shelter regulations, and county RFP standards. Average length of stay aims under 18 months.
Programs out of compliance with CoC standards face funding reductions, HUD remediation plans, and possible NY OTDA license suspension.
