Volunteers Of America Of North Louisiana

Volunteers Of America Of North Louisiana, operating as Volunteers Of America, is a Shreveport-based nonprofit tax-exempt organization that delivers residential medical respite care, shelter, and substance use disorder treatment services to homeless veterans and vulnerable populations as a federal grant and contract prime recipient (97% of awards). The organization holds no federal contracts itself but operates as a service provider under indefinite-delivery contracts and grant vehicles issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The organization's federal footprint centers on two concrete capability areas. First, medical respite and transitional housing for homeless veterans: Volunteers Of America Of North Louisiana holds three active single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 totaling $11.63 million in ceiling value (medical respite residence at $1.575 million, shelter for homeless veterans at $6.935 million, and substance use disorder services residence at $3.121 million). Recent representative delivery orders include a $524,997.75 firm fixed-price order (March 31, 2026, through March 30, 2027) for medical respite residence under the VA contract, a $900,000 order (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026) for shelter services, and a $589,475 order (June 15, 2025, through June 14, 2026) for substance use disorder services residence. Each service line requires 24/7 residential staffing, licensed practical nursing, case management, and capability to serve male, female, transgender, and non-binary veterans. Second, homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing: Volunteers Of America Of North Louisiana is a recipient of repeated Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (CFDA 14.267), with recent awards including $401,772 (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026) and $266,485 (March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027). The organization also holds a $500,000 Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) grant from the VA (CFDA 64.033, awarded September 30, 2025, through September 30, 2026) to serve very low-income veteran families in Arkansas with outreach, case management, VA benefit assistance, and temporary financial aid.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward a single VA entity. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 represents 20 awards (13% of the total award count) but carries the full $24.1 million in combined potential value across all 148 awards in the source data. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads by volume with 106 CoC grant awards but the source does not provide individual dollar figures for those grants; combined obligated dollars across all HUD awards are absorbed into the portfolio's $147.9 million in total obligations. The five top customer agencies account for 95% of recent awards. All five active parent indefinite-delivery vehicles listed in the portfolio are single-award VA contracts held by Volunteers Of America Of North Louisiana under Veterans Integrated Service Network 16.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (four awards in 2022, nine in 2023, ten in 2024, nine in 2025, two recorded through March 2026) with modest growth trajectory from 2022 onward. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $1.4 million in combined potential value and therefore modest recompete exposure relative to the organization's existing vehicle ceiling. The organization holds four subgrant awards as a sub-recipient under the Louisiana Department of Administration's 21st Century Community Learning Centers program (21st CCLC) as well as one subgrant for COVID-19 relief and mental health support. Place of performance for all substantive VA and HUD work is Shreveport, Louisiana, with secondary service areas in Arkansas under the SSVF program. NAICS coding in the source data reflects Residential Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities (623220) and Nursing Care Facilities (623310).
