Ka Hale A KE OLA Homeless Resource Centers, Inc.

Ka Hale A Ke Ola Homeless Resource Centers, Inc., a Hawaii-based tax-exempt nonprofit domestic shelter organization, delivers emergency housing, case management, and supportive services to homeless veterans and individuals as a prime contractor and grant sub-recipient, competing full-and-open without set-asides across federal customer agencies.

The organization operates primarily under NAICS 624221 (Temporary Shelters) with a secondary focus on residential mental health and substance abuse facilities. Ka Hale A Ke Ola has served the federal government since 2008, establishing itself as a specialized provider of contracted emergency residential services (CERS) for vulnerable populations in Maui County, Hawaii. The vendor holds a registered SAM.gov presence and competes on merit in a full-and-open posture across all recent federal awards; no set-aside designations appear in the source data.

Customer concentration is highly concentrated with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VISN 21) dominating the portfolio. VISN 21 represents 100% of awards by count (20 awards) and combined potential value ($7 million) across recent contract work. The organization also holds 16 awards from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development and 3 awards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, reflecting a broader mission to serve homeless and at-risk populations beyond the veteran-focused VA programs.

Ka Hale A Ke Ola's primary federal vehicle is a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract (36C26126D0028, ceiling $4 million, awarded April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2031) issued by VISN 21 for CERS to support the Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program. Under this IDIQ, the organization has issued or will issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for fiscal-year-specific operations. Representative contract work includes a $416,420 delivery order (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027) for HCHV emergency housing and case management services in Wailuku, and a $66,423 extension task order modification (October 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026). The organization also manages an older IDIQ vehicle (36C26121D0014, six task orders, $417 thousand combined potential value) and related vehicles under VISN 21.

In its grant sub-recipient role, Ka Hale A Ke Ola has received infrastructure and facility development sub-awards from the Hawaii Department of Defense. Recent sub-awards include projects at the Pioneer Mill Building facility (October 27, 2024), the Westside Housing & Homeless Resource Center Parking Lot (October 4, 2024), and the Westside Housing & Homeless Resource Center itself (October 3, 2024), supporting physical expansion and operational infrastructure in Maui County.

Activity has been sparse in recent years (one award each in 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, two in 2026), with minimal recompete exposure — only one award ($416 thousand combined potential value) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's combined obligated dollars across all awards ($26.1 million) significantly exceed combined potential value ($7 million), reflecting mature, long-running delivery orders under VISN 21's IDIQ vehicles where invoiced performance over multiple years has accumulated higher real dollars than current contract ceilings reflect.
