PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT HEALTH CARE FOR HOMELESS VETERANS (HCHV) CONTRACTED RESIDENTIAL SERVICES (CRS) MEDICAL RESPITE CARE FOR HOMELESS VETERANS BACKGROUND & PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program is an essential and critical part of VHA. It provides a gateway to the VA and community-based supportive services for homeless Veterans. The program utilizes Contracted Residential Services (CRS) in community locations to engage homeless Veterans. HCHV CRSs exists to provide a means of helping homeless Veterans get off the streets and find more suitable habitation. CRS programs work to help Veterans get into residential environments with sufficient supportive services to meet their biopsychosocial health and housing needs. CRSs operates in accordance with HCHV Program Federal Regulations 38 CFR 63 and are partners with the VA in the mission of ending homelessness among Veterans. According to the National Institute for Medical Respite Care, Medical Respite Care (MRC) provides post acute medical care for people who are homeless and too ill to be on the street but not ill enough for hospital level of care. MRC is short-term and operates where homeless individuals can receive support, education, and assistance in recovering from illness and injury and/or restoring and managing medical and functional health in a safe environment. The objective of the CRS MRC is to supply Veterans with such service and help them to move into permanent housing, living as independently as possible, and ensuring that interventions will be in place to help in maintaining permanent housing. It is understood that the type of Veterans to be cared for under this contract will require care and treatment services over and above the level of room and board and general. It is also understood that Veterans in CRS MRC may need more intensive case management than the general population. Intensity of services required are to be assessed on an ongoing basis. CRS MRC is not a substitute or alternate for long-term care or skilled nursing care settings. B. FOUNDATIONAL RULES & EXPECTATIONS B.1. Admission Criteria B.1.1. Veteran is homeless, as defined in the VHA Directive 1162.04 Section 3.E., or at imminent risk of homelessness. B.1.2. Veteran is eligible for VA Health Care. (The VA Eligibility Office and VA Liaison can assist in obtaining a Veteran s status.) B.1.3. Veteran is discharging from a hospital and in need of recuperative care or is with marked functional limitations, requiring additional supports such as that of an aide or nurse, not often found in a traditional shelter or transitional housing setting for homeless individuals. B.1.4 MRC candidates may be, but are not limited to: transitioning from chronic street homelessness. discharging from institutions other than hospitals (rehabilitation facilities, substance abuse treatment facilities, residential recovery programs, jails, etc.) recently homeless due to fleeing domestic violence, abuse, or exploitation, being in a place not meant for human habitation, such as an abandoned building, a vehicle, or a residence that is no longer meeting inspection and code or facing condemnation according to a governmental entity. facing eviction or foreclosure of their residence. Every attempt will be made by the contractor, Veteran, and/or referrer to secure documentation of such as part of referral process to assess acuity or alternates to losing housing. B.2. Admission Practices B.2.1. Collaboration with the VA Liaison is amply available and highly encouraged to ensure appropriateness and eligibility for Veteran to be in CRS. VA Primary Care team members will be consulted with as needed to determine eligibility. It is understood that payment for Veterans admitted without an initial determination of eligibility may not be authorized if the Veteran is found to be ineligible. B.2.1.i. Staff will ensure that a case manager has met with a Veteran within 72 hours of Admission for intake and service planning. B.2.1.ii. Staff will ensure that a Veteran is routed to VA Liaison for an intake within 72 hours of admission, so that HCHV intake by VA Liaison can take place within 7 days of admission . B.2.1.iii. Veteran will receive a nursing assessment within 48 hours of admission. B.2.2. Contractor works to reduce barriers to admission: At a minimum, accept referrals Monday through Friday during business hours. Respond to referrers with acceptance or decline of Veteran referred within 96 hours from receiving the referral form. Notification of acceptance or decline of Veteran within 72 hours is preferred. Admit Veterans outside of business hours when and if feasible. There will not be a certain timeframe prior to admission that a Veteran must be free of drugs or alcohol so long as a Veteran is medically stable to be in MRC. Detoxification services are not expected of the MRC. In cases of unsuitability for MRC environment due to previous episodes in similar settings whereas the Vet infracted upon drug and alcohol policies repeatedly, the contractor reserves the right to decline admission with recommendations to the Veteran and/or referrer for what interventions would be needed to establish an episode of stay. Contractor is encouraged to accept Veterans, even if they have a sex offense status or otherwise been involved with the legal system. A Veteran is not obligated to reveal that they have a disability prior to admission. Accept Veterans into MRC regardless of what geographical location they may come from: Central or Western MA. Veterans from other geographical locations may also be considered, but with emphasis and priority being on those from the CWM VA HCS catch man area. B.2.3. Priority and Expedition. For those Veterans referred or who are on the street, in places not meant for habitation, or staying in vehicles, the admissions and intake committee will coordinate with others and the Veteran about logistics and pragmatics of getting to the MRC site as quickly as possible. B.2.4. The CRS Program admissions and intake staff reserve the right to decline admission to a Veteran who is found to be inappropriate for MRC. However, every attempt should be made to accommodate the Veteran. It is the expectation of the VA that if a Veteran is denied admission to MRC, the admission and intake staff will provide the Veteran and referral source with alternate resources and services. B.2.5. The admitted Veteran will be provided with a copy of the Resident Handbook or other documentation that outlines at a minimum rules, regulations, responsibilities, and expectations of the Veteran and the Contractor. Veterans are expected to engage programming and maintain communication with Case Managers, Residential Staff, and Nursing Staff. B.2.6. While recidivism is discouraged, there is no limitation to the number of times that a Veteran can be accepted into the CRS Program after leaving the program. Veterans who are former participants can be rereferred and readmitted so long as they are otherwise meeting eligibility criteria. Every attempt to address what will be different during additional episodes of stay will be taken with the Veteran to secure permanent housing and minimize length of stay at the CRS Program. Case management staff and VA Liaison will monitor and coordinate efforts in helping recidivistic Veterans on a regularly scheduled basis (i.e. monthly) to decrease barriers to and successfully establish permanent housing. B.2.7. Keeping with the objective of the CRS MRC, admission will be made for Veterans who can t complete instrumental activities of daily living on account of functional impairment - acute, chronic, or yet to be determined, psychiatric, cognitive, or physical in nature. Veterans cannot be denied admission if they don t yet have a diagnosis associated with such impairment. Contractor and/or VA assessment, medical documentation, referrer s knowledge of the Veteran are all pieces of collateral evidence to consider when making determination for admission. B.2.8. Rules focus on staff and resident safety. Veterans are expected to adhere to the following: 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 Any others as set forth in a Contractor s Resident Handbook or other policy manual the Veteran would procure at the time of admission. B.2.9. When possible, infractions are to be used to engage residents, not simply as grounds for service termination. Profanity does not in and of itself constitute abuse and shall not exclusively be considered grounds for discharge. Any actual or threatened violence may be grounds for discharge. Any discharge, for whatever reason, requires that Contractor staff assist Veterans with finding alternative living arrangements. B.3. Types of Services Provided by Contractors Case Managers B.3.1.
