The growing numbers of homeless women Veterans either with or without children poses a significant threat to women Veterans in Massachusetts. In addition, there are high rates of serious mental illness (SMI) and substance abuse in this population. Safe and secure shelter is needed for these women.

VA Boston Healthcare System is the site of the Women's Stress Disorder Treatment Team, the Women Veteran's Transitional Residence, the Women Veterans Health Center and Women's Health Sciences Division of the National Center for PTSD. These programs are closely linked with the WVHP, which affords the opportunity of highly coordinated and comprehensive services for women in primary care, mental health and substance abuse treatment services. This contract proposes that the WVHP partner a non-VA community resource that can provide 10 shelter beds for homeless woman Veterans. This must include a safe, supervised, clean and sober environment for our Veterans. We require that women Veterans be housed in a separate area than male Veterans (if applicable).

Case managers must pass an interview from VA Boston Healthcare System staff and facility must pass a physical inspection before the contract will be awarded.

The WVHP case manager will provide any case management and clinical services deemed necessary for the homeless women Veterans. The WVHP case manager will be a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW). The VA Boston Healthcare System reserves the right to detail the staff appropriate to the position.
