The Forgotten Veteran Resource Guide (updated: 5/4/2024)

USING THE FORGOTTEN VETERAN RESOURCE GUIDE


Welcome to The Forgotten Veteran Resource Guide for New York City and the surrounding area. This resource guide is designed to provide Veterans and Service Providers alike direct access to those programs and organizations dedicated to providing dependable access to transitional services to veterans experiencing homelessness. One of those challenges is the ability to connect with the best person to assist the veteran in their transition including housing while providing a direct contact to someone familiar with the unique challenges facing veterans experiencing homelessness. 


There are several ways to access the info in the resource guide. In addition to the printed version provided to organizations, agencies, and veteran – centric providers, the resource guide can be directly viewed either from the website or be downloaded to the user’s phone or computer. For any questions, please reach out.

Resources and Service Provider’s Listings:

The information you provide will help to create a 'cheat sheet' of sorts so that those of us who have direct contact with veterans also have equal direct contact with other veteran - oriented providers. The objective is to have a complete downloadable resource guide that is user - friendly for both provider and veteran. In addition to the information here in the printed version, The Forgotten Veteran website provides links and contact information with downloadable pdf. Sections here and on the pdf are designed to allow anyone to print only the pages relevant to the veteran’s particular needs. Please also take a moment to review content and contact information and provide any necessary edits here.

Staten Island PPS / Veterans


Along with New York City Department of Veterans Services, has formed the Staten Island Veteran Suicide Prevention Collaborative (SIVSPC). The SIVSPC has partnered with veteran and civilian organizations to create a community-based collaborative. We provide quarterly webinars on topics relating to veteran suicide prevention.


We have partnered with the Staten Island Retired Volunteer Program (RSVP) and hold community-based Veterans Taskforce meetings. We also provide ongoing outreach to Staten Island veterans to see what their social determinants of health needs are. Staten Island PPS also has partnered with the Expiration of Service-Sponsor Program (ETS-SP).


We are one of the 11 ETS-SP Community Integration Coordinators. ETS-SP is a national program which connects a service member to a trained sponsor in their home community prior to discharge to assist the service member’s transition to civilian life.

Community Resources


Community resources are important to individuals and families. When you need information about a public service or need to learn something new, seek out and find a useful resource. Ask for help, when needed. Assistance can be a just a phone call or a computer click away; websites and phone numbers can link you with assistance and valuable information quickly.


Community resources are like community assets. They help meet certain needs for those living in and around the county. Community resources can be used to improve the quality of community life. Often needed resources are only a phone call away. A newly discovered resource and/or a helpful resource person can be like finding valuable treasure. It is a good thing to be able to positively help another person and it is also personally rewarding to assist others in need.

     USING THE FORGOTTEN VETERANS RESOURCE GUIDE


    Scanning QR Codes:

    Most cell phones can access the website by scanning the provided QR code by opening your camera and holding the phone over the code. For older phones, you might need to download a QR Code Reader App from Play Store. Most are free but be careful which one you choose. Many have advertising which can be a pain. If scanning the QR code is not working, visit the website, https://www.vetjuspro.com/ and click on Veterans Resource Guide. Each section in this resource guide is duplicated on the website page and accompanied by a downloadable and printable pdf link.


    Keeping Notes:

    It cannot be stressed enough the importance of following up with the services and resources provided to ensure a successful exit from the transition program. You’ll notice there are numerous places for which to write down notes after most sections. I suggest writing down those people that are instrumental in your transition. Get phone numbers whenever possible.

    Do not rely only on your phone to record your contacts and documents.


    Securing Documentation and Important Information:

    For those veterans in shelters or on the street who would like to have their documents scanned into a file and the originals secured, reach out to me and I will hold the originals with me here and then provide hard copies as well as email copies of your file in a pdf. For those who are filing claims, be sure to keep your research and follow-up information handy for reference when interacting with Veterans Affairs.


    Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst:

    If you don’t have a New York State ID, Social Security card, EBT enrollment, DD214, and VA enrollment, it only makes sense these will be required to obtain housing. Make it a job of obtaining these documents before anything else. The process is frustrating as it is, so having all your documentation before starting the process will make it that much quicker.


    Be Mindful of Dates:

    Most all documents you will encounter have some sort of renewal date to maintain participation in any of the housing programs. Veterans on disability or receiving a pension are required to update their VA award letter every 90 days. Current mental health information will need to be submitted for supportive housing.

     

    Ask Questions, Get Involved:

    Do not make the mistake of putting all the pressure on the case worker. They are there to assist with the housing process but take control of your success by keeping engaged with the case workers and housing counselors. Ask how you can help. Ask about different programs and ensure both eligibility and enrollment are complete. Do not depend on the case worker to follow up with housing. It’s not their job.
