Veterans Affairs hiring racial diversity consultants to fight homelessness

Amid a worrying rise in the number of homeless veterans, the Veterans Health Administration is seeking to hire racial diversity consultants to help "transform" its homeless programs "into a racially equitable and just organization."

"Creating racially equitable systems demands that systems not simply be diverse, but that they be explicitly anti-racist," the VHA's Homeless Programs Office (HPO) said in a contract opportunity document.
