Mental Health Association Residential Care, Inc.

Mental Health Association Residential Care, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Wichita, Kansas that has established itself as a specialized provider of comprehensive services to homeless veterans and vulnerable populations. Registered in SAM.gov since September 10, 2013, the organization focuses on delivering transitional housing, case management, clinical services, and supportive interventions designed to rapidly rehouse individuals experiencing homelessness and promote self-sufficiency. The organization's work is concentrated in the Wichita area and surrounding regions, addressing the critical housing instability issues affecting veteran populations through a coordinated approach combining both federal contracts and grants.

Mental Health Association Residential Care, Inc. has received substantial federal contract funding exclusively through the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VISN 15), for the provision of health care services supporting homeless veterans in the Wichita VA Medical Center catchment area. The organization has executed four delivery orders under its primary indefinite delivery contract between November 2022 and November 2025, with individual delivery order ceiling values ranging from $502,168.47 to $1,065,617.50, collectively obligating approximately $3.43 million across base year and three option year exercises. These contracts are structured as firm fixed-price arrangements with no set-aside designations, requiring the contractor to deliver transitional housing, case management, clinical services, meals, transportation, and ancillary support services aimed at rapidly rehousing homeless veterans within a 60- to 90-day timeframe. All contract work has been performed as a prime contractor directly with VISN 15, with no subcontracting arrangements documented, establishing the organization as the primary responsible entity for service delivery in the Wichita area.

Mental Health Association Residential Care, Inc. has demonstrated consistent success in securing federal grant funding from multiple agencies to support its homelessness prevention and intervention mission.

These grants support the organization's provision of permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and related interventions designed to address veteran and individual homelessness through community-wide strategies.

Mental Health Association Residential Care, Inc. holds a single-award, non-set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 valued at $5,131,078.75, with a performance period extending from November 27, 2022 through November 26, 2027. This IDV procures Contracted Emergency Residential Services for homeless veterans within the Wichita VA Medical Center catchment area and does not operate under any parent contract vehicle or larger federal contracting platform. The contract is structured to deliver comprehensive transitional housing, case management, clinical services, meals, transportation, and ancillary support services on a firm fixed-price basis at the Wichita, Kansas location. Four delivery orders have been exercised under this IDV through November 2025, with the initial base year order valued at $834,256 followed by annual option year exercises on November 27 of each subsequent year, generating delivery orders valued at $502,168, $1.024 million, and $1.066 million respectively. The consistent annual option year exercises and sustained funding levels demonstrate both the organization's continued performance capability and VISN 15's commitment to maintaining contracted emergency residential services for the veteran population in its service area.
