Churches United For The Homeless

Churches United For The Homeless, doing business as Churches United, is a nonprofit organization based in Moorhead, Minnesota that has been registered with the federal government since 2008 to receive federal contract awards. The organization specializes in providing comprehensive housing and support services exclusively to homeless veterans in the Moorhead-Fargo region. Churches United serves as a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, delivering integrated assistance that addresses both the immediate shelter needs and longer-term support requirements of veterans experiencing homelessness.

Through its federal contract awards, Churches United For The Homeless has provided a consistent portfolio of housing and counseling services to the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (VISN 23) since 2021. The organization's service delivery includes room and board, laundry services, psychosocial support, case management, counseling, personal grooming assistance, self-care counseling, and adaptive coping skill training delivered in interactive care environments. These services are funded exclusively through VISN 23 and represent part of the VA's broader Homeless Continuum of Care and Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program initiatives. All contract awards have utilized firm fixed-price pricing with no set-aside designations. The organization has demonstrated consistent performance through sequential delivery orders, with individual order values ranging from $6,500 for a six-month extension awarded in April 2022 to $228,480 for annual task orders issued in subsequent years. Churches United For The Homeless has operated without subcontractors on these federal awards, serving as the direct service provider to homeless veterans in its regional service area.

Churches United For The Homeless holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) with the Department of Veterans Affairs valued at $1,200,000 with a completion date of December 31, 2027. This IDC was originally awarded on January 1, 2023 and serves as the parent vehicle for all subsequent task order issuances. Under this contract vehicle, the Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to fund the organization's ongoing provision of housing and counseling services to homeless veterans. To date, three delivery orders totaling $462,600 have been issued under the IDC, with the most recent order valued at $228,480 and effective through December 31, 2026. The contract structure enables VISN 23 to efficiently procure ongoing assistance without requiring separate competitive procurement actions, thereby allowing Churches United For The Homeless to maintain stable, continuous service delivery to the homeless veteran population in the Moorhead-Fargo region. Approximately $1,142,400 in remaining potential funding remains available through the contract's completion date in December 2027, indicating the VA's sustained commitment to the organization's mission and demonstrated capacity to serve this vulnerable population.
