I recently visited New York City Council to drop off my submission for the Corporal Yegor Zubarev Veterans Bill, which proposes new local subdivisions and administrative measures to address the housing industry directly.

Over ten years ago, Yegor and I worked hard to address the problem of student veterans facing homelessness because landlords, brokers, and realtors did not want to rent to veterans applying with just the GI Bill. When we started writing the policies, we came up with many ideas, but the ultimate goal was simply to stop the discrimination.

I am happy to say that Local Law 119-2017 fixed that problem for the city, New York Executive State Order 291 fixed it for the state, and now we aim to fix it for the rest of the country.

I hope you will consider signing our Change.org petition here.

I would like to personally invite all veterans and community members to join us. If you are a realtor, broker, or landlord, you will want to hear about this. You can be the first to hear about it if you attend our Corporal Yegor Zubarev Veterans Bill petition event on November 10th at 12:00 PM. For more information, click here.
