In 2021, the NYC Department of Veterans' Services (DVS) conducted the NYC Veteran and Military Community Survey to help NYC policymakers identify potential service gaps and better understand the needs of the City's veteran community. To review preliminary survey results, click here.
Key findings from the survey include:
- About one-quarter of veterans and active duty, reserve, or guard
members who took the survey reported feeling lonely three or more days in a typical week. This was even higher among family members and caregivers.
- Two in ten veterans, servicemembers, or family members/caregivers reported that they were in current need of assistance, services, or care.
- Of those survey participants reporting needing assistance, the top needs differed by survey group, although a common need across the groups was access to new housing.
