Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Veterans’ Services Commissioner James Hendon have unveiled a sweeping set of initiatives to secure housing stability and expand job opportunities for New York City’s 210,000 veterans.

The announcement, made during the kickoff of Veterans and Service Members’ Week and National Military Appreciation Month, underscores the administration’s commitment to those who have served. “Our veterans and service members put their lives on the line for our country, fighting to defend our way of life — that’s why our administration will always have their backs,” said Mayor Adams.
