The VA New Jersey Health Care System (VANJHCS) is comprised of two main campuses – the corporate office at the East Orange Campus located in northeastern New Jersey, and the Lyons Campus located 22 miles west of the East Orange Campus in Bernards Township, Somerset County, NJ. The 304-acre Lyons Campus has 30 buildings that total 1,116,389 square feet. In addition to general medical, psychiatry, and long-term care, a full range of medical and surgical subspecialty care is provided to veterans of the VANJHCS in a variety of special programs.

VA seeks to competitively select a private developer to lease one 91,303 square-foot building or approximately 16 acres of vacant space located on campus. The successful private EUL bidder(s) will provide VA with in-kind consideration that includes the development and operation of new 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.
