Ten years of chronic homelessness finally ended election day    

By Allan, 9 months ago
Hello! Sorry for the delay, but I'm slowly settling in my new apartment in Starrett City. I've been wanting to live here since 1979.

With overwhelming help from the community center in conjunction with the veterans administration and interconnected organizations, I've finally secured arguably the best possible apartment and neighborhood. Funding, furniture, accessories.... it feels like a dream! You can imagine how costly it would have been if I weren't a military veteran.

I had a nice birthday dinner with mom, and enjoyed a free veterans breakfast the next day. After a tumultuous decade where I contemplated suicide at least thrice, I think it's time I maintain some happiness at long last.

It is absolutely appalling to me how our country treats our veterans. I am so glad you finally have a place to call home. Congratulations!
