Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to identify potential sources that can provide Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Contracted Residential Services (CRS) Emergency Housing in Oahu, HI. The goal of the HCHV program is to remove homeless Veterans from the street or unfit habitations and place them in community-based, residential environments with sufficient supportive services to meet their needs and ultimately facilitate the improvement of their housing situation. The program will provide transitional housing, meals, and case management services to homeless Veterans. The Contractor will be required to provide services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and ensure that each Veteran has an assigned primary Case Manager responsible for coordinating the services specified in the contract.
Some key requirements include:
• Providing a safe and secure environment for Veterans
• Ensuring that each Veteran has access to a private area or office for meetings with Case Managers
• Providing three nutritious meals and at least one snack daily
• Ensuring that room and board are accessible to the Veteran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• Providing transportation to medical appointments, community meetings, and necessary scheduled activities for permanent housing search
• Maintaining an individual case record for each referred Veteran
• Ensuring that all staff have undergone an appropriate background security check and have been trained on topics such as CPR, alcohol and substance abuse, and military sexual trauma (MST) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
