This month, we’re joined by Anthony Love, Principal Advisor to the Executive Director for Intra/Inter-Agency Collaboration and Director of Community Engagement; Dr. Carmela Daniels, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Program Specialist; and Dr. Matthew Stimmel, National Training Director for the Veteran Justice Programs to learn more about racial equity in homeless programs.

Our guests talked about what equity is, what some of the unique challenges that minority Veterans face, and why it’s both critical (and okay) to center equity when providing housing and supportive services.

Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
