Timothy Pena went to Long Island City where The Borden Avenue Veterans Residence is located and was shocked to see the conditions. This is a federally funded transitional housing program for the homeless veterans now alleging in violation of federal law failing to meet the basic standards of care.

The NYC Council, State Senate and State Assembly for the area are not listening to their plea now reaching out to locals for support.

The Mayor's office has not responded as of yet.
