Some of New York City’s most severely disabled military veterans could soon be exempt from paying property taxes on their homes under legislation the City Council is expected to approve Thursday, part of a package of veterans’ measures announced Wednesday in honor of Veterans Day.
The three bills, which officials say will have enough support to pass, would also require the city to track how veterans fare when applying for Mitchell-Lama affordable housing and establish a permanent LGBTQ+ veterans liaison within the Department of Veterans’ Services.
