Today, I joined the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 32 to deliver toiletries to the Borden Avenue Veterans Shelter.

We delivered 27 boxes of t-shirts, undergarments, toothpaste, and other essentials that will come in handy for our veterans. Thanks to all who helped!

Thanks to this funding, New York City’s one-of-a-kind supportive housing program is getting a makeover! This vital funding will contribute to the construction of a brand-new 12-story building with 103 affordable housing units.
