Place Of Hope Ministries

Place Of Hope Ministries is a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization registered in SAM.gov since May 2010, headquartered in St. Cloud with a focus on providing comprehensive support services to homeless veterans. The organization specializes in delivering transitional housing and wraparound support services designed to help homeless veterans achieve stable living conditions and self-sufficiency. Through its federal contract awards, Place Of Hope Ministries has established itself as a dedicated service provider within the Veterans Affairs system, demonstrating consistent performance and expanding its capacity to serve vulnerable veteran populations.

Place Of Hope Ministries has provided homeless veteran bed services exclusively through the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (VISN 23), which oversees veterans' healthcare delivery in Minnesota and surrounding regions. Since November 2020, the organization has delivered multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders under an indefinite delivery contract vehicle, with cumulative contract values approaching $1.3 million. The contracted services encompass transitional housing with 24-hour staffing, three daily meals, laundry facilities, individual case management, therapeutic and rehabilitative support, employment assistance, peer support services, and housing placement assistance. All contract awards have been executed without set-aside designations, and Place Of Hope Ministries has performed as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractors or partnerships documented in the award history. Recent delivery orders include a $233,180.25 award (December 2025) for fiscal year 2026 services, a $207,535.65 award (December 2024), a $123,925.95 renewal award (November 2023), and earlier annual orders dating back to November 2021, each structured as firm fixed-price contracts with performance periods typically running through October or December of the following year.

Place Of Hope Ministries currently holds a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, on December 16, 2025, with a ceiling value of $1,400,000 and a guaranteed minimum of $20,000, running through December 15, 2030. This single-award, non-set-aside contract represents a significant expansion of the organization's existing relationship with VISN 23 and consolidates prior task order authority into a unified IDV structure. Under this contract vehicle, Place Of Hope Ministries will provide Emergency Residential Bed Services to support homeless veterans at the St. Cloud VA Medical Center, delivering emergency residential beds with 24-hour staffing, room and board, meals, laundry facilities, case management, therapeutic support, employment assistance, peer support, and housing placement services. The contract specifies stringent performance metrics requiring 90% of veterans to receive intake documentation within 72 hours and 95% of care plans to be completed within 72 business hours, with compliance mandated on core service requirements. Place Of Hope Ministries must maintain facilities within 15 miles of the St. Cloud VA Medical Center, adhere to Service Contract Act wage determinations for Benton and Stearns Counties in Minnesota, implement E-Verify immigration requirements, and comply with a comprehensive Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. An initial delivery order of $233,180.25 was executed on the IDV award date for services through December 15, 2026, demonstrating immediate utilization of the contract vehicle to continue uninterrupted service delivery to homeless veterans in the St. Cloud region.
