VA Seeks Developers for Housing on VA Medical Campuses

Developers Wanted to Build Housing for VA  

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking "expressions of interest" from developers and service providers interested in homeless housing development opportunities on the grounds of one or more VA Medical Center (VAMC) campuses. This will be accomplished through the long-term out-lease of currently underutilized VAMC land or buildings. Once expressions of interest have been thoroughly reviewed, VA will proceed by issuing RFPs to potential developers or enter into direct negotiations if there is a single viable response. The selected non-profit and for-profit organizations will collaborate with VA to provide veterans with access to medical care and other services.

If your organization is interested in one or more of the VAMC campuses available under this initiative, you may express an interest by e-mail at rei@vahomelesshousing.org. Expressions of interest should be submitted on official letterhead and must include a point of contact, the signature of at least one organization officer, and the name of the site(s) in which interest is being expressed. Expressions of interest are due Friday, August 15.
