VA Housing

Proposed housing for homeless, senior, disabled, and other at-risk veterans and their families.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) plans to enter into agreements to provide more than 3,000 units of permanent and transitional housing for veterans at 25 VA medical center campuses nationwide.

Additionally, more agreements are planned for another 1,000 units. Proposed opportunities include housing for homeless veterans, senior veterans, disabled veterans, other at-risk veteran populations, and their families.

The agreements are part of VA’s Building Utilization Review and Repurposing (BURR) initiative.  BURR is a VA strategic effort to identify and repurpose unused VA land and buildings in support of the department’s goal to end veteran homelessness. VA is using its enhanced-use lease authority to permit third-party providers to finance, design, develop, maintain and operate housing with on-site supportive services, on a priority basis, for veterans and their families.
