Description

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking a Contractor to assist with the provision of providing Contracted Emergency Residential Services (CERS). Through the Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program. The intent is to award a base year contract with up to four one year option periods. CERS targets and prioritizes 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. CERS Programs, either directly or through linkage with community and other VA services, provide time-limited services such as supporting mental health stabilization, SUD treatment services, and 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 CERS typically range from 30 to 90 days with the option to extend based on clinical need. NOTE: CERS programs represent a consolidation of existing HCHV contract residential programs, previously designated as either residential treatment (RT) or emergency housing (EH). Since varying levels of supportive services have been present in both, as noted above, this consolidation reflects the range and flexibility of these services as currently constituted VA258-15-R-5-0303 has replaced VA258-14-R-0437 for the same services however no award was made and was subsequently cancelled. The new solicitation for this requirement will be available on or about the week of March 23, 2015 with a closing date for proposal approximately 10 days later.

It represents one of VA's most significant efforts to achieve the President's goal of ending homelessness among Veterans.

The program prioritizes Veterans assessed to be highly vulnerable with a high likelihood of death due to homelessness.
