New VA White Paper on Effective HUD-VASH Contracting

The VHA Homeless Programs Office published a new white paper called “ Effective Practices in HUD-VASH Contracting: An Innovative Practice in VHA Homeless Program Operations. ”

The paper, developed by the Housing and Urban Development VA-Supportive Housing ( HUD-VASH ) Contracting Community of Practice ( CCoP ) group, covers best practices related to:

1. Contracting officer’s representatives and clinical liaisons
2. Team structuring
3. Monitoring
4. Billing

In 2021, Congress made contracting mandatory for any HUD-VASH program when 15% of their allocated housing vouchers during the preceding fiscal year were unused, and when they had one or more case manager positions vacant for at least nine consecutive months.
