A coalition in California is proposing legislation to boost taxes on wealthy multinational corporations to raise more than $2 billion a year to end homelessness.
"In June 2020, following the continued spate of police violence against Black Americans, several HPO staff, as well as frontline VA medical center homeless programs social workers expressed a strong need and desire to confront the trauma and barriers such as inequitable access to housing and care, that systemic racism presented for Veterans and staff alike.
In response, the VHA HPO established the Racial Equity and Racial Justice Workgroup. The vision of the workgroup is that the injustices and traumas caused by generations of structural racism no longer drive homelessness and housing disparities for Black, Indigenous, and Veterans of Color," the contract opportunity document reads.
The contractor will assist the HPO"in providing racially equitable services to Veterans and identify opportunities to address disparities caused by systemic racism" and will"conduct a document review to [identify] opportunities in which racial equity and racial justice can be implemented." "This review will also identify instances where racism or disparate outcomes may intentionally or inadvertently emerge due to how policy was written," the document states.. That includes a potential 4.1% increase in spending on its homelessness programs.The Veterans Health Administration's contract opportunity comes amid a backlash against racial justice consultants such as"White Fragility" author Robin DiAngelo, who charge top dollar for their services.
