The aid this network will provide ranges from regular check-ins with isolated veterans to helping veterans find safe housing and assistance to make it through the pandemic. Click Here to apply for aid. NYC Veterans Alliance is also maintaining and updating a comprehensive resource list at nycveteransalliance.org/covid_19.
