MINORITY VETERANS California is a richly diverse state with an equally diverse veteran population. While minority veterans comprise approximately 33 percent of the total California veteran population, as a group they are less likely to access their VA benefits than non-minority veterans. Therefore, outreach efforts have been implemented at the federal and state levels to identify barriers to services and healthcare access and to develop strategies for improving minority participation in existing VA benefit programs. The Minority Veterans Division is the California Department of Veterans Affairs model for inter- and intra-agency cooperation to ensure all veterans receive equal service regardless of race, origin, religion, or gender. CalVet is process improvement-oriented and both internal and external customer-centric. CalVet assists VA in executing its mission in the most equitable, efficient and humane way possible. MINORITY VETERANS SUPPORT Additional minority veteran information and/or resources can be found on the following websites: »» Center for Minority Veterans www1.va.gov/centerforminorityveterans »» VA Center for Veterans Enterprise & Business www.vetbiz.gov »» VA Benefits for Veterans of Enduring Freedom-Iraqi Freedom www.oefoif.va.gov 179
