In June 2010, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) released Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, which is fully aligned with this goal. Eliminating Veteran Homelessness remains one of three Agency Priority Goals for 2014-2015 in VA s 2014-2020 Strategic Plan. The Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program is an essential and critical part of VHA, providing a gateway to VA and community-based supportive services for eligible Veterans who are homeless. HCHV programs provide outreach services; care, treatment, and rehabilitative services, including case management services; and therapeutic transitional housing assistance under 38 U.S.C. 2032 in conjunction with Work Therapy under 38 U.S.C. 1718. The pDRAFT rogram uses Contracted Residential Services in community locations to engage homeless Veterans who have been underserved. Many of these Veterans would benefit from mental health and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment but will not avail themselves of these services without the encouragement of outreach workers. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The HCHV CERS Program exists to provide a means of removing homeless Veterans from the street or habitation unfit for humans and placing them in community-based, residential environments with sufficient supportive services to meet their basic needs and ultimately, facilitate the improvement of their overall health status and housing situation. HCHV CERS Program characteristics: Targets and prioritizes homeless Veterans who are eligible for VA health care, and are transitioning from chronic literal street homelessness, Veterans being discharged from institutions (including those being discharged from psychiatric inpatient care settings), and Veterans who recently became homeless and require safe and stable living arrangements while they seek permanent housing Seeks to reduce barriers to immediate placement Does not require any length of sobriety or abstinence from alcohol or other drugs as a condition of admission Provides safe, secure housing as well as supportive services Lengths of Stay typically range from 30 to 90 days with the option to extend based on clinical need. Veterans are expected to meaningfully engage their case managers and available Programming Emphasis is placed on achieving placement in permanent housing or longer-term residential programs that offer paths to increased houDRAFT sing stabilization at the time of program exit and reducing negative exits due to rule violations or other avoidable circumstances. House Rules and Expectations Rules focus on staff and resident safety: No buying or selling of alcohol or drugs in the facility No dealing or use of illicit drugs in the facility No sexual activity between residents No violence or threats of violence Honor nightly curfew When possible, infractions are to be used to engage residents, not simply as grounds for service termination. Negative discharges will be monitored as a measure of program quality. Veterans are expected to engage programming and maintain communication with case managers at all times around matters relating to admission, stay, and treatment Admission Practices Staff will assist residents with admission forms and eligibility determination with VA Facility works to reduce barriers to admission: Accepts referrals throughout day if possible Flexibility with aDRAFT dmission processes Admission Criteria Homeless Veteran Eligible for VA Health Care Overview of Types of Services Available to Residents Safe, Secure housing (includes laundry and restroom facilities) Three daily nutritious meals Case Management and Care Coordination Services Vocational Services Benefits Services Enhancement of Independent Living Skills Permanent/ Transitional housing search support Support for mental health stabilization Substance Use Disorder treatment services PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT OBJECTIVE The Contractor shall provide residential treatment services for homeless Veterans in accordance with the HCHV CERS model requirements. Services are expected to involve a 24-hour-a-day/7-days-a-week therapeutic community and evidence-based recovery program offering supportive, secure housing to homeless Veterans, many of whom may also be dealing with mental illness and/or substance use disorders. The program places an expectation on the Veteran to engage in supportive case management services and recommended treatment and on the Contractor to provide expertise and guidance towards improving housing stability and addressing individual factors contributing to each Veteran s homelessness to ensure their transition from homelessness to permanent, stable housing and encourage ongoing engagement with aftercare and relapse prevention servicDRAFT es upon discharge.
