The Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center, located at 1700 South Lincoln Ave, Lebanon, PA 17042, (Lebanon VAMC) requires a contractor to provide services as part of its Community Based Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program, in accordance with VHA Handbook 1162.09. The goal of the HCHV program is to remove homeless Veterans from the street or habitation unfit for Veterans and place them in community-based, residential environments with sufficient therapeutic services to meet the needs of those Veterans. Lebanon VAMC is seeking to award a five-year Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Contracted Residential Services (CRS) programs target and prioritize homeless Veterans transitioning from literal street homelessness, Veterans being discharged from institutions, including those in need of medical respite, and Veterans who recently became homeless and require safe and stable living arrangements while they seek permanent housing. CRS Programs, either directly or through linkage with community and other VA services, provide low demand time-limited services such as supporting mental health stabilization, Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment services, enhancement of independent living skills, vocational training, and employment services. Emphasis is placed on referral and placement in permanent housing or longer-term residential programs utilizing VA and/or community resources. Lengths of stay in CRS typically range from 30 to 90 days with the option to extend based on clinical need. The contractor shall provide services to Veterans for whom such care is specifically authorized by the VA. The contractor shall provide residential placement and supportive services not to exceed 5 veterans per day under the Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program, for a five (5) year performance period, in accordance with all terms and conditions, provisions and requirements listed herein for the all-inclusive rate. This rate is inclusive of all services as may be necessary in the treatment of the Veteran to include transportation to healthcare appointments and meetings. Unless specifically excluded in this contract, the per diem rate established will include the services listed in this document and will also include all services normally provided other residents by the facility without extra charge. The contractor facility will not be used for detoxification or other hospital level treatment. The contractor facility shall be located within the catchment area of a 30-mile radius from the Berks Community Based Outpatient Clinic, 2762 Century Blvd., Suite #120, Wyomissing, PA,19610.
