Residential Programs for Veterans
Volunteers of America has been helping veterans from as far back as the Civil War who are struggling to reintegrate into civilian life. The Greater New York affiliate supports more than 700 veterans each year, and is one of the largest providers of residential services for veterans in New York City. We offer a continuum of care to veterans who are homeless and those at imminent risk of becoming homeless that is congruent with the high level of support and respect these men and women deserve.
