A Message for New York City Veterans

For nearly two decades veterans  of New York City experiencing homelessness or transitioning from one life situation to another have had few options for which to receive access to housing resources, employment and education opportunities, community engagement, and a nutitious diet in a drug-free, safe environment for which to transiton. There is but one veterans program in NYC which is the NYC Department of Homeless Services at Borden Avenue Veterans' Residency.


Following years of drug abuse, overdoses, assualts, and deaths; the time has arrived to hold DHS accountable with a campaign of civil lawsuits against them.
