Texas 501(c)(3) (EIN 86-1336741) brings open-data veteran resource discovery to New York's 700,000+ veterans across NYC, Buffalo, Rochester, and 12 top cities.
THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS — May 4, 2026 —Wounded Warriors (Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, IRS ruling year 2021) today announced that its open-data veteran-resource directory now indexes 4,021 verified veteran-serving resources across New York State.
New York hosts approximately 700,000 U.S. military veterans across the five-borough New York City metro, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, Capital District, and Western New York. The state directory at warriorsfund.org/state/new-york surfaces VA Medical Centers (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Northport, Albany, Bath, Buffalo, Syracuse, Canandaigua), Community-Based Outpatient Clinics, Vet Centers, all 62 New York County Veterans Service Officers, NYC Department of Veterans' Services, and the New York State Division of Veterans' Services.
New York operates among the most generous state-level supplemental veteran benefits in the U.S.: property tax exemptions (Alternative Veterans Exemption + Cold War Veterans Exemption), tuition assistance via the Veterans Tuition Awards (VTA), state veterans homes (Long Island, Montrose, Oxford, St. Albans, Batavia), and the New York State Soldiers' & Sailors' Home in Bath. Wounded Warriors' state-benefits HowTos surface eligibility for each.
Topic-specific subpages cover Mental Health (NYC has the highest concentration of MST-survivor support resources outside DC), Housing (HUD-VASH coverage at Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, plus all five borough SSVF providers), Employment (NYS Department of Labor DVOP/LVER specialists at every Career Center), Healthcare (VA Community Care network), Claims Help (62 free CVSOs), and Crisis Support (988 + Press 1).
New York donors should search EIN 86-1336741 in any DAF portal. Cross-links to neighboring states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont) help Hudson Valley + NYC-metro veterans find resources across state lines.
New York runs the most generous state-level supplemental benefits stack in the country — property tax exemptions that compound across decades, tuition awards that close gaps the GI Bill leaves, six state veterans homes. The challenge has always been discoverability: a Buffalo veteran shouldn't need to learn the Cold War Veterans Exemption exists by accident at age 70. We index it so AI assistants surface it the first time someone asks.Dillon Parkes, Founder & Executive Director, Wounded Warriors
