NYC Veteran and Military Community Survey

Our agency has been partnering with LMIS since 2023 ahead of our 2024 Veteran and Military Community Survey with the goal of better understanding the New York City Veteran community, their needs, and how to best ensure that they are aware of and have access to the benefits and services for which they are eligible. 

Research goals included:

• Understanding the lived experiences, priorities, and needs of NYC’s Veterans
• Hearing first-hand why some Veterans are highly engaged while others are not
• Providing DVS with policy recommendations to support their mission to connect, mobilize, and empower NYC’s Veteran community

The results of the 2024 NYC Veteran and Military Community Survey were shared as part of the LMIS and DVS-hosted NYC Veterans' Experience Research Breakfast and can be viewed here:
