PATCHOGUE, NY A Patchogue non-profit organization is now looking to help Suffolk County veterans amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk normally has always worked to offer financial assistance to eligible Suffolk County residents, but is now also working to help veterans since the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program, a federally funded program via the VA, came out to Long Island. The group works with local veterans who are either homeless or on the verge of homelessness. We realize that there are a lot of people currently falling behind on rent, Rich Dellasso, SSVF Outreach Coordinator, said. Currently, the moratorium that is in place is helping our veterans to not be evicted in the event that they have fallen behind.
