Governor Hochul Announces Opening of 14 Affordable Apartments With Supportive Services for Veterans in Rockland County

Governor Hochul Announces Opening of 14 Affordable Apartments With Supportive Services for Veterans in Rockland County $5.4 Million Homes for Heroes Veterans Apartments Project Increases the Supply of Permanent Supportive Housing for Veterans Who Have Experienced Homelessness Supplements. New York State’s Ongoing Efforts to Expand Supportive Housing Opportunities Across the State Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the opening of the $5.4 million Homes for Heroes Veterans Apartments, a newly constructed 14-unit permanent supportive housing development for veterans located on the former Camp Shanks military station in Rockland County.

 

This project was developed in partnership with Rockland Homes for Heroes, a nonprofit created to build housing for formerly homeless veterans.

 

Homelessness and housing insecurity require a holistic approach that connects vulnerable New Yorkers to housing, but also to the services which help ensure they can establish stable lives in their communities,

 

Governor Hochul said. “We have an obligation to provide essential services to our veterans who have done so much to keep our nation safe and advance the cause of freedom across the globe.”

"Homelessness is life without a future. It breeds loneliness, despair, hopelessness, depression, addiction and – too often – suicide. We’re fighting to give our veterans a chance to create a meaningful life for themselves outside of uniform."
