Veterans Justice Project, LLC is a limited-liability company established in December 2020 with the Arizona Corporation Commission by Timothy Pena as the sole owner. Tim came onto the idea while serving a two-year prison sentence for a first offense marijuana possession.

During that unfortunate experience Tim and other veterans were not receiving the access to Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) with simple VA forms, information and advocacy that other non-criminal veterans receive, even though these veterans have greater needs.

The main goal of Veterans Justice Project is provide incarcerated veterans with access to necessary VA forms, assistance with claims, and transition services and resources. Before coming to NYC, Veterans Justice assisted approximately 20 veterans with various services ranging from filling out and filing 1040 tax returns to assisting with MST claims.

Since coming to NYC in 2022, Pena has worked to continue assistance of access to resources for incarcerated and transitioning veterans and advocate for fair treatment of veterans entering into the NYC Veterans Affairs Healthcare System.
