The goal of the Healthcare for Homeless Veterans (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 therapeutic services to meet the needs of those Veterans. Through the HCHV program, The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides case management services to Veterans and facilitates their access to a broad range of medical, mental health, and rehabilitative services. VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) needs to acquire care, treatment, and rehabilitative services for Veterans suffering from serious mental illness, including Veterans who are homeless, in community-based treatment facilities offering a safe and secure environment that supports their rehabilitation goals. The Contractor will be required to provide therapeutic and rehabilitative services but will not be required to provide detoxification or other hospital-level treatment those services will be provided by the VA at VA facilities. The Contractor shall provide beds and furnish services to beneficiaries of VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System for whom such care is specifically authorized by the Department of Veterans Affairs (herein called VA). It is understood that the type of patients to be cared for under this contract are authorized VA beneficiaries who are experiencing homelessness and serious mental illness/substance abuse issues and will normally require care and services over and above the level of room and board. VAPHS is looking to have a total of ten (10) contracted beds: VAPHS is looking for a vendor in the Allegheny County area to accommodate various Veteran preferences for recovery goals which must be located within 30 miles of drive time of VAPHS, located at University Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15240, or VAPHS, Heinz, 1010 Delafield Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15215. The Government intends to award a fixed-price, IDIQ contract to utilize beds at one or multiple facilities.
