The Secretary of the VA has set a zero-tolerance policy for homelessness within the Veteran population. As part of the Plan to End Homelessness among Veterans announced in late 2009, the Veterans Health Administration has been increasing both capacity of existing programs and services offered to program participants. The VA’s Plan to End Veteran Homelessness calls for enhancing current homeless service capacity as well as developing new programs and initiatives in concert with community and federal partners.

Rapid stabilization of the Veterans’ medical, mental health, substance abuse and other psychosocial problems in order to place Veterans in other appropriate transitional or permanent housing within 60 days, with no more than 180 days, without a planned reason for the extension, is an expected outcome of this Contract. The contractor shall provide homeless veteran services through a Transitional Housing model of residential care at a facility located within 15 miles of the respective Medical Center. If no facilities are available within this area, consideration will be given to the Contractor whose facility meets all the stated requirements and is closest to the Medical Center. These services are to be provided to homeless Veterans as defined in the Statement of Work (SOW).
