The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VISN 8) awarded a delivery order contract valued at $788.4K to Homeless Emergency Project, Inc. (HEP), a non-profit organization based in Clearwater, Florida, for contracted emergency residential services. The award, issued on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2026, represents a firm-fixed-price delivery order under an existing Indefinite Delivery Contract. This delivery order was not issued under any set-aside designation and was awarded through full and open competition. HEP will provide emergency residential shelter and supportive services to homeless veterans in the Tampa Bay region, building on the organization's established track record of delivering comprehensive services including case management, meals, and transitional housing support.

HEP is an established federal contractor and non-profit that has consistently supported VISN 8's homeless veteran services mission. The organization holds two significant IDCs with the VA, including a $3.94M contract for emergency residential services and a $2.56M contract for substance abuse treatment programs. Beyond federal contracts, HEP receives recurring grant funding through the HUD Continuum of Care Program and the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program to support its operations in Pinellas County and the broader Tampa Bay region. This delivery order represents continued execution under HEP's existing emergency residential services IDC, enabling the organization to maintain critical shelter capacity and supportive services for vulnerable homeless veterans seeking housing stability and transition to permanent housing solutions.
