Mayor Eric Adams, during the Veterans Day Parade, announced initiatives to enhance housing stability and job opportunities for NYC's 210,000 veterans. The comprehensive plan includes legislative advocacy, homeownership assistance, and focused employment support. This effort aims to provide property tax relief for Cold War veterans, interest-free loans for homebuyers, and improved access for disabled veterans to housing. Commissioner James Hendon emphasized the importance of these actions in honoring veterans and creating a stronger community for those who have sacrificed for their country.
"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.
"Today, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice by taking concrete steps to support those who returned home," said Commissioner Hendon.
"Streamlined access to housing and expanded employment support directly translate into a stronger, healthier veteran community," said Commissioner Hendon.
"This measure would grant property tax relief to approximately 11,000 Cold War-era veterans, with an average benefit of $938 per year," stated the article.
