Description of services:

1.0 BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking a Contractor to assist with the provision of emergency residential placement and treatment services through the Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program. This contract is designed to serve homeless Veterans (male or female) in need of immediate placement in a safe environment with onsite treatment services. Many of these veterans have co-morbid conditions that include serious mental illnesses, substance abuse disorders, and other serious medical conditions. VA intends to engage a Contractor to provide rapid placement of VA-referred Veterans in a safe, residential treatment setting while addressing Veterans' complex needs through on-site clinical treatment and case management services. The goal of the HCHV Contract Residential Care Program is to rapidly stabilize Veterans' medical, mental health, substance abuse and other psychosocial problems in order to place Veterans in other appropriate transitional or permanent housing within 60 to 90 days, but no more than 180 days. Admissions will be accomplished on a 24/7 basis. Contract Residential Care Programs are to help the Veteran access the most appropriate services to address underlying issues that have resulted in them being homeless, for example, manage negative mental health symptoms, learn life skills and assist them with maintaining sobriety so the Veteran can be successful in independent housing. There is a need for more counseling and support services included in this program over the HCHV services.
