Welcome to the website of the Mayor's Office of Veterans' Affairs (MOVA). I am honored to have been appointed to serve as the City's first Commissioner of MOVA. Our veterans and their families have made significant sacrifices on behalf of all New Yorkers and all Americans. Our office is committed to expanding opportunities and services for the veteran community and to give back to the men and women who have given so much for our country.

As a veteran of the Vietnam War, it is my privilege to work on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of veterans and service members that live in our City and ensure that the needs of New York's veteran and military community are met. MOVA partners with other government agencies and non-profit organizations to provide enhanced services to veterans, military personnel and their families.

This web site contains a wealth of information and is designed specifically to accommodate the needs of the veteran and military community; whether you are currently serving or a veteran, MOVA can be a great resource either through this website or by calling our office at 212-442-4171 or 311.

I look forward to hearing how we can better serve you and how we can work together to make New York City a better place for the men and women of our City who have served their country so proudly.

Best Regards,

Roger K. Newman
Commissioner
