Togus VA Medical Center (VAMC) is a 67-bed facility with general medical, surgical, intermediate and mental health beds, as well as a 100-bed Nursing Home consisting of 50 Skilled and Longer Stay beds, and a 50-bed Dementia Unit.  Togus is the oldest Veterans facility in the country, having opened in the fall of 1866, and is located approximately four miles east of Augusta, the capital of Maine.  The Togus VAMC campus encompasses more than 500 acres of buildings and natural woodlands that serve as natural habitats for some of Maine’s wildlife.

VA seeks to competitively select a private developer to lease up to 15,767 square feet of vacant space at Togus VAMC.  The successful private EUL bidder(s) will provide VA with in-kind consideration that includes the development and operation of new permanent supportive housing units with on-site supportive services for individuals and/or families.  Such units and services will be provided to Veterans, who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness, on a priority basis.
