The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for the contracting of residential services for homeless Veterans under the Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program in the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System. The program aims to provide emergency housing for eligible homeless Veterans while addressing their medical, mental health, substance abuse, and psychosocial needs, ultimately facilitating their transition to permanent housing. Contractors must offer 24/7 support, conduct outreach to identify homeless Veterans, and maintain at least 80% occupancy of beds.
Key responsibilities of the contractor include providing case management, individualized housing support plans, and structured group activities. The contractor's site must comply with safety and accessibility standards while ensuring a safe and supportive environment. Veterans may stay for a maximum of 90 days, with extensions possible under specific conditions. The contract also emphasizes continuous monitoring, quality assurance, and addressing incidents promptly.
This document serves as a vital resource in guiding the procurement process, ensuring accountability, and enhancing the effectiveness of services provided to a vulnerable population within the context of government RFPs aimed at addressing veteran homelessness.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential vendors capable of providing Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Contract Emergency Residential Services (CERS) in Waianae, Hawaii. This announcement, referenced as solicitation number 36C26125Q0434, is part of VA's market research to assess available services aligning with the NAICS Code 624221 for Temporary Shelters. Interested vendors must respond by April 14, 2025, and include details such as their business type, capabilities, experience in providing similar services, and ownership or leasing status of facility accommodations for at least six veterans. Notably, responses will not result in a contract obligation for the government, and the procurement strategy will be determined based on the received submissions. The request emphasizes compliance with the Small Business Administration's limitations on subcontracting, underscoring the VA's aim to support small business participation. The expected service includes providing six beds for veterans on a per diem basis, with projections outlined for five ordering periods starting from October 1, 2025. This initiative illustrates the VA’s commitment to addressing the needs of homeless veterans through suitable housing and health care services.
