Council Member Gale A. Brewer inquires about support for smaller clubhouses in addition to the larger ones already established. Commissioner Morse responds about the current status of the clubhouse program.

DOHMH believes in the clubhouse model for mental health support
11 of 12 clubhouses from a new RFP are large and already in action
The RFP is closed, funds have been fully awarded, and contracts executed
There's no immediate plan for supporting smaller clubhouses, suggesting the need for continued advocacy for one-year funding to establish them

She's on the clubhouses.

Are you going to support the smaller clubhouses?

We like the big ones, but we want the smaller ones.

Are you going to help us support them?

1:57:57

So we're gonna have to go back for the one year, one year, one year, one year to get the smaller ones?

What I'll start by saying is that we really believe in the clubhouse model in the New York City Health Department.

1:57:34

Eleven of the 12 clubhouses that were a part of the new RFP Those are big ones.

1:57:40

They are large but they're in action and so we're proud that that has happened.

1:57:46

From our perspective, the RFP is closed.

1:57:49

All the funds have been fully awarded and the contracts have been executed.

1:57:53

So that's where we are on our clubhouse.

We do support the clubhouse model.
