The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army Potomac DHQ Division, doing business as Salvation Army, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization registered with the federal government to receive contract and grant awards. The organization is headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, and serves as a child entity within The Salvation Army corporate structure. The Salvation Army is a well-established humanitarian organization that provides comprehensive social services and emergency assistance to vulnerable populations, with a particular focus on addressing homelessness among veterans and other at-risk communities through integrated residential shelter, food services, counseling, and employment assistance programs.

Through federal contract awards, The Salvation Army has demonstrated sustained capability in delivering emergency housing and transitional shelter services to homeless veterans. The organization received multiple delivery order contracts from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VA-VHA VISN 6) spanning from October 2021 through October 2025, with contract values ranging from approximately $60,339 to $126,297. These delivery orders, all utilizing firm fixed-price structures with no set-aside designations, specifically targeted emergency housing for homeless veterans in the Hampton and Norfolk, Virginia regions. The contracts encompassed residential shelter provision, food services, counseling services, and employment assistance. The most recent delivery order, awarded on November 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $126,297.30 and performance period through October 31, 2025, continued this focus on providing residential shelter services for homeless veterans. Collectively, these contracts demonstrate The Salvation Army's consistent engagement with VA-VHA VISN 6 as a trusted partner in addressing veteran homelessness across the Virginia region.

The Salvation Army has also received federal grant sub-awards through the City of Norfolk, which served as the prime grantee. On July 1, 2021, the organization received three sub-grant awards from the City of Norfolk, all designated under what appears to be a HOPE program initiative. These sub-awards included funding for The Salvation Army-HOPE Village Transitional Housing, The Salvation Army-HOPE Day Center, and The Salvation Army-HOPE Emergency Shelter Program. These grant-funded programs collectively demonstrate the organization's commitment to providing comprehensive services addressing homelessness through multiple service delivery modalities, including transitional housing opportunities, daytime support services, and emergency shelter capacity. The HOPE programs represent a collaborative approach between the City of Norfolk and The Salvation Army to address housing insecurity and homelessness within the Norfolk community.

The Salvation Army currently holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6, awarded on November 1, 2024. This IDC, with a ceiling value of $670,534.20 and ultimate completion date of October 31, 2026, establishes an umbrella vehicle for delivering temporary emergency homeless shelter services exclusively targeting homeless veterans in Hampton, Virginia.

These delivery orders demonstrate the VA-VHA VISN 6's confidence in The Salvation Army's performance and its intention to maintain this partnership for sustained veteran homeless services delivery. The remaining available ceiling value of approximately $413,150.90 provides capacity for additional task orders through the contract expiration date of October 31, 2026, enabling The Salvation Army to expand service delivery as required by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
