The contract encompasses capacity for up to 9,125 bed days of care annually, reflecting the significant scale of homeless veteran populations requiring services in the region. This IDC structure provides the VA with flexibility to adjust service volumes and delivery orders based on changing community needs while maintaining continuity of care delivery through an established, capable nonprofit provider with demonstrated expertise in serving vulnerable veteran populations.
