Historical source article: benefits, rules, amounts and deadlines may have changed. Check the official source for current information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WASHINGTON <\/strong>\u2014 The Department of Veterans Affairs on May 21 issued a request for proposals to build approximately 220 temporary units to house Veterans at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center north campus.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sam.gov\/workspace\/contract\/opp\/281c1940eee04ceab7fd498b4f36ca45\/view\" rel=\"noopener\">RFP<\/a>\u00a0invites companies to submit proposals for\u00a0delivering the\u00a0housing units by the end of calendar year 2026 in accordance with VA\u2019s clinically driven specifications. Initial proposals are due by June 23, 2026, and VA expects to award the contract, worth up to $30 million, by August 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The RFP is the latest in a long line of actions VA is taking to implement President Trump\u2019s executive order to create the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/05\/keeping-promises-to-veterans-and-establishing-a-national-center-for-warrior-independence\/\" rel=\"noopener\">National Center for Warrior Independence<\/a>\u00a0on the West LA VAMC\u00a0campus. VA\u2019s goal is to turn the campus into a beacon of hope and a destination for homeless Veterans from across the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe West LA VA Medical Center campus lost touch with its true focus decades ago, but that is quickly changing under President Trump,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>VA Secretary Doug Collins<\/strong>. \u201cStep by step, we are moving toward the president\u2019s vision of a campus\u00a0that provides housing, treatment and training for thousands\u00a0of formerly homeless Veterans,\u00a0offering\u00a0crucial support on their journey back to self-sufficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During previous administrations, the 388-acre campus had been mismanaged for years, but under President Trump, VA has been hard at work expanding housing and building the infrastructure required to provide care and training to thousands of Veterans.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In January 2025, the campus had the capacity to house 955 Veterans. <\/li>\n<li>Today, the campus can house 1,377 Veterans.<\/li>\n<li>By the end of 2026, the campus will have the capacity to house 1,670 Veterans.<\/li>\n<li>By 2027, on-campus housing will accommodate 2,048 Veterans. <\/li>\n<li>VA plans to add thousands of additional housing units in the coming years and will have more to announce as these decisions are made.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>VA has taken several other important steps to ensure the West L.A. campus is better serving homeless Veterans, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/press-room\/va-terminates-illegal-and-wasteful-west-los-angeles-vamc-leases-and-license\/\">Terminating illegal and wasteful<\/a>\u00a0West L.A. leases and a license under which the campus allowed the Brentwood School, Safety Park Corporation,\u00a0and Bridgeland Resources, LLC to use land on the campus in ways that did not principally benefit Veterans. These properties were also leased and licensed under terms that underpaid VA for their fair value by more than $40 million per year.<\/li>\n<li>Increasing\u00a0security measures on campus to address safety issues caused by the L.A. Sheriff\u2019s office shortage of thousands of police officers.<\/li>\n<li>Making Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team services available to all Veterans to provide easier access to\u00a0clinical care, including treatment for mental health and substance abuse disorders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"tni-attribution\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/press-room\/va-issues-rfp-to-build-housing-for-220-veterans-at-west-l-a-campus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs<\/a>.
