Benilde Hall

Benilde Hall is a Kansas City-based nonprofit organization registered in SAM.gov since March 2008 that specializes in providing comprehensive support services to vulnerable populations, including homeless veterans, individuals with substance use disorders, and offenders reentering society. Operating as a tax-exempt corporate entity, Benilde Hall has established itself as a significant federal contractor and grant recipient, with a robust track record of delivering integrated healthcare and housing solutions through multiple federal funding mechanisms. The organization's mission centers on stabilizing vulnerable individuals and facilitating their transition to permanent housing and self-sufficiency through evidence-based therapeutic interventions and wraparound support services.

Benilde Hall has received substantial federal contract awards exclusively from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VA VISN 15) for Healthcare for Homeless Veterans services at the Kansas City VA Medical Center. These delivery orders, totaling over $5.2 million across multiple awards issued between September 2021 and November 2025, support Benilde Hall's Low Demand Safe Haven residential care model and Healthcare for Homeless Veterans Clinical Evaluation and Resource Center services. The firm fixed-price delivery orders, ranging from approximately $128,000 to $829,000, fund the delivery of transitional housing, mental health treatment, substance abuse rehabilitation, case management, and recovery support services designed to rapidly stabilize homeless veterans and facilitate their transition to permanent housing. No small business set-asides have been applied to any of Benilde Hall's federal contract awards. Additionally, Benilde Hall serves as a subgrantee under grants from the City of Kansas City for homelessness prevention, shelter operations, and public service operating costs, with sub-awards dated July 2021, August 2021, and December 2024.

Benilde Hall holds two prime federal grant awards from different agencies supporting its mission to serve vulnerable populations. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Center for Substance Abuse Treatment awarded Benilde Hall a Project Grant valued at approximately $800,000 on September 30, 2023, with completion targeted for September 29, 2028, to implement the Offender Reentry Program. This program provides individualized treatment and support services to sentenced adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions as they reenter society after incarceration, with particular focus on Black males; services are delivered through partnerships with three Missouri Department of Corrections facilities and include transitional housing, substance use and mental health treatment, and recovery support services in the Jackson County/Kansas City region. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration has awarded Benilde Hall two grants totaling approximately $400,000 and unspecified additional per diem funding through the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program, with awards dated August 20, 2021, and August 28, 2023, respectively. The 2021 award provided capital funding to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless veterans, while the 2023 per diem award supports operational costs associated with transitional housing beds for homeless veterans, with completion anticipated in September 2025.

Benilde Hall currently holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with VA VISN 15, providing substantial flexibility to deliver services through multiple delivery orders over extended periods. The most recent IDC, awarded November 25, 2025, for Healthcare for Homeless Veterans Contracted Emergency Residential Services carries a ceiling value of $4,314,519 with completion targeted for November 24, 2026, and includes an initial delivery order valued at $829,499. This contract authorizes Benilde Hall to provide 24/7 emergency residential housing and supportive services, including stabilization housing, case management, mental health treatment, substance abuse rehabilitation, and recovery support services for up to 45 bed days of care per day (not to exceed 16,425 total bed days annually) for homeless veterans in the Kansas City region. The second active IDC, awarded September 28, 2023, for Healthcare for Homeless Veterans Low Demand Safe Haven services is valued at $3,978,500 with completion scheduled for September 27, 2026, and has generated multiple delivery orders exercising option years, with the most recent being a $803,000 firm fixed-price delivery order for Option Year 2. Both contracts are single-award and multiple-award vehicles respectively, issued with no set-aside designations, and represent the Department of Veterans Affairs' commitment to addressing veteran homelessness through structured indefinite delivery mechanisms that enable flexible, responsive service delivery in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
