DESCRIPTION Furnish transitional housing for the beneficiaries of the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center near the location of VAMC, 1101 Veterans Drive, Lexington, KY 40502-2235. Provide safe housing, food, and basic living skills to homeless veterans. A. PURPOSE: The Department Affairs Medical Center in ("VA") requires contractors to provide services as part of its Community Based Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program. 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 services to meet the needs of those Veterans. B. BACKGROUND: Through the HCHV program, the VA provides case management services to Veterans and facilitates their access to a broad range of medical, mental health, and rehabilitative services. The purpose of this requirement is to provide care and rehabilitative services to veterans suffering from mental illness, substance use disorders, and/or physical disabilities, who are homeless, in a community-based treatment facility(ies) offering a safe and secure environment that supports their rehabilitation goals. The Contractor will be required to provide daily living skills training so veterans can be more independent. The contractor facilities are to provide transitional housing including services on an all-inclusive rate and must be located within 0.3 miles of a Lextran KY bus stop. The contractor shall furnish services to beneficiaries from whom such care is specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) at VAMC, Lexington, KY. It is understood that the type of Veterans to be cared for under this contract will normally require care and services over and above the level of room and board. Homeless Veterans may have ongoing mental illness, substance abuse issues, and medical issues. The facility will not be used for detoxification or other hospital level treatment. The Facility must be ADA compliant for at least 6 residents. C. REQUIREMENTS The contractor shall furnish each Veteran authorized care under this contract with the following basic services: a.Room and Board, adequate size room to include a bed, pillow, and other furnishings such as a dresser, storage, and linen for the bed, (towels, pillow cases and bed sheets). b.Food for three (3) nutritionally adequate meals a day, 7 days a week and availability of nutritious snacks between meals and bedtime for those requiring or desiring additional food, when it is not medically contraindicated. The addition of nutritious snacks to the requirements for room and board is particularly indicated for homeless patients. Many of these Veterans are either undernourished or have developed poor eating habits or both, often due to chronic psychiatric disorder and/or substance abuse behaviors. (The local VA Medical Center dietitian may consult with the initial inspection team and the team making subsequent assessments, in evaluating not only the printed menus but also the Veterans' satisfaction with meals and the actual consumption of food offered.) Further clarification on nutritious and appropriate snacks and meals can be found on the Nutritional References attachment.
