Recognizing and Honoring ThoseWho Have Served on Veterans Day
|
On Veterans Day, we honor our nation’s heroes. Veterans selflessly put their lives on the line to keep us safe and protect our freedom. Their service often takes them away from their families and the everyday moments that we might take for granted. We thank our employees who served and still serve in the armed services. Today and every day let's honor these men and women and all they have done for our country. Happy Veterans Day.
New York State made substantial progress in reducing homelessness for veterans between 2010 and 2022 with the number of homeless veterans declining 83% (from 5,857 to 990), the largest percentage decline in the nation, according to State Comptroller DiNapoli’s analysis. The share of homeless adults that are veterans was reduced from 9% in 2010 to just 1% in 2022, with the greatest progress made in New York City.
“Veterans answered the call to serve our nation and defend our country’s ideals, and we owe them our gratitude and support,” DiNapoli said. “With federal support, New York is leading the way in reducing homelessness for our veterans. Continued attention to housing and other issues affecting our veterans is a necessary expression of our appreciation and a recognition of our duty to help these brave men and women.”
New York City is financially accountable for numerous entities that are legally separate but can impact its budget. State Comptroller DiNapoli released updated reports on three major City-supported agencies — the New York City Department of Education, the New York City Housing Authority and New York City Health + Hospitals — highlighting the major financial and other issues they are confronting. DiNapoli also launched a new data tracker to monitor trends for New York City agencies’ performance data, staffing, and spending.
