NEW DIRECTIONS, INC.

New Directions, Inc. specializes in delivering residential transitional housing and supportive services for vulnerable veteran populations, with deep expertise in mental health and substance abuse care models. The contractor operates 18-bed transitional housing facilities tailored for female veterans, integrating case management, housing assistance, and wraparound support services to address homelessness and behavioral health needs. Their technical capabilities include the design and operation of trauma-informed care environments, compliance with VA-specific supportive housing standards, and the implementation of Project-Based Voucher (PBV) and Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) frameworks to secure sustainable housing solutions.

The contractor maintains a sustained, high-frequency partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, consistently delivering services under VA’s Homeless Programs and Community Housing initiatives. Their work spans both residential treatment facilities and community-based supportive housing, demonstrating a proven ability to execute complex, long-term VA contracts with operational continuity across multiple fiscal cycles. This recurring engagement reflects a trusted relationship built on reliable service delivery and alignment with VA’s strategic goals for veteran homelessness reduction. New Directions, Inc. operates primarily within NAICS 623220 (residential mental health and substance abuse facilities) and 624229 (other community housing services), positioning itself as a niche provider in veteran-specific residential care. The firm’s market focus is firmly anchored in the intersection of behavioral health and housing stability, serving as a critical conduit between VA clinical services and permanent housing outcomes for at-risk veterans. As an 8H-certified entity based in Los Angeles, California, New Directions, Inc. leverages its local presence to serve high-need veteran populations across Southern California.
