Location:
Jacob Javits Convention Center, 1C
ALL PROCEEDS FROM ~BOOTH # 111 ~ LOCKSDOWN BY DESHALAMAR ~ FOR THE TWO DAY EVENT , WILL BE USED TOWARDS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OUR FIRST RESIDENCE FOR HOMELESS AMERICAN VETERANS, LOCATED ON LONG ISLAND NEW YORK~ TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
As President of Deshalamar Community Development Corp. , I myself am a Honorably discharged Veteran. Having personal experience, working one on one with displaced Veterans, at The Salvation Army Veterans Residence Shelter, located at the VA Hospital , Northport , Long Island New York. I see the needs of my fellow Vets, and I see the urgency to meet those needs. Many of the men and women who have served our country return home to find that they do not have the same stability they once had before deployment. It’s a fact that post traumatic stress disorder when left untreated causes many of our Vets to be homeless, while many turn to substance abuse. 1 in 4 of the homeless population is an American Veteran. After taking office, President Obama affirmed his commitment to ending homelessness among veterans, saying
at an appearance at the VA Central Office, “And we provide new help for
homeless veterans, because those heroes have a home – it’s the country
they served, the United States of America. And until we reach a day when
not a single veteran sleeps on our nation’s streets, our work remains unfinished.
Deshalamar Community Development Corp. is dedicated to doing our part to reach that day.
