Homeless Veterans Emergency Housing Facility

Homeless Veterans Emergency Housing Facility, doing business as Veterans Housing, is a Corporate Entity organized as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. It is registered as a minority-owned, veteran-owned, domestic shelter located in San Jose, California. Veterans Housing provides transitional housing and supportive services to homeless veterans and elderly veterans in need of temporary shelter, meals, case management, rehabilitative care, and other services to promote housing stability and self-sufficiency.

Through prime federal contracts awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VISN 21), Veterans Housing has delivered geriatric services, transitional housing, meals, laundry facilities, medication management, counseling, and rehabilitative services to homeless and elderly veterans in the Santa Clara County and San Jose areas. These have included firm fixed price delivery orders for specific services as well as long-term indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide healthcare for homeless veterans (HCHV) shelter and services in the region. None of the contracts utilized set-aside designations.

Veterans Housing has received grant funding from the VA VHA Under Secretary for Health to assist with operational costs associated with providing transitional housing beds for homeless veterans. In August 2020, Veterans Housing was awarded a project grant of over $7.6 million through this VA grant program to support its temporary housing and services for homeless veterans.

Currently, Veterans Housing holds two indefinite delivery contracts awarded by VA VHA VISN 21. The first is a $6.9 million single award IDV awarded in September 2023 to provide HCHV services in San Jose, including transitional housing, case management, dietetic services, laundry, medication support, counseling, rehabilitative care and housing assistance over the next five years through September 2028. The second IDV, awarded in September 2021 with a $1 million ceiling, aims to provide geriatric services and elderly care specifically for homeless veterans through task orders issued with firm fixed pricing.
