Account of homeless vets being booted from hotel to make way for migrants is false: reports, local pol

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on May 19, 2023

A claim put forward by a non-profit leader that 20 homeless veterans were kicked out of Hudson Valley hotels last week to make room for migrants being bused there by New York City is false, according to news articles and a local pol with ties to the group.

Orange County Assembly Member Brian Maher released a statement Thursday evening saying he was “devastated and disheartened” by the alleged false account shared by the nonprofit leader, Sharon Toney-Finch. Her controversial account was first reported by the New York Post last Friday.
