Outrage grows over vets evicted from New York hotels to house migrants
NY Post By Isabel Vincent and Georgett Roberts May 13, 2023
The 20 homeless veterans who were evicted from Orange County hotels this week to make way for a group of migrants are shaken — but soldiering on, a spokeswoman for the group told The Post Saturday.“We are trying to regain their trust,” said Sharon Toney-Finch, CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation and herself a disabled veteran. “They are very upset because of how they have been replaced and we are, too.”Local leaders were quick to condemn the eviction from several hotels in Newburgh and Middletown, which was first revealed by The Post Saturday.Leaders in the veteran community were quick to denounce the evictions of the former soldiers, many of them struggling with PTSD.
Army vet, 94, kicked out of NYC nursing home to make room for migrants
NY Post By Melissa Koenig Nov. 30, 2023
A 94-year-old US Army veteran is blasting his Staten Island assisted living home for kicking him out then cutting a deal to welcome migrants — saying it’s “not fair” he was sent packing.
Frank Tammaro was given less than two months’ notice he and 53 other seniors would have to move out of Island Shores Residences in March, and had to make other living arrangements.
“I felt horrible,” Tammaro, a lifelong New Yorker, told Fox News. “It’s no joke getting thrown out of a house.”
He then moved into another facility, but after he fell, he and his daughter Barbara Annunziata decided it would be best for him to move in with her and her children.
It was in her care that the family discovered that Island Shores was being converted into migrant housing — and would not reopen as another assisted living facility as they were promised.

------------------------------------------------NEW YORK (AP) — The founder of a nonprofit group has been accused of fabricating a story about homeless military veterans being evicted from a New York hotel to make room for migrants, a tale that stoked days of outrage on cable news networks.One Republican lawmaker in New York who helped spread the story is now calling for an investigation, saying he and others were duped.The uproar began after New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, bused a small group of asylum seekers to a suburban hotel as the city’s homeless shelter system struggled to accommodate an influx of migrants from the U.S. border with Mexico.The group’s transfer prompted a political backlash from Republican county officials, who accused the mayor of trying to offload his problems on unprepared communities.Then, the founder of a small charity in the area added an explosive claim: To make way for the migrants, a hotel in Newburgh, New York, evicted nearly two dozen homeless veterans.That story, told by Yerik Israel Toney Foundation chief executive Sharon Toney-Finch, was picked up May 12 by The New York Post and quickly followed by Fox News, Newsmax and other conservative news outlets. The Post on Friday published a follow-up story reporting on the latest development.Zeets2 » 07 Nov 2025, 4:19 pm » wrote: ↑ Actually, if you had any brains, you'd be asking why are there homeless veterans when there are programs for free or subsidized housing for them?

-------------------------------But on Thursday, Maher said Toney-Finch admitted to him that she’d lied when he pressed her to provide bank records proving her nonprofit paid for the hotel housing for veterans.“I asked her to give her permission to the bank to release the information. She denied authorization,” Maher told The Post. “After two minutes, I called her back and explained how I was feeling about not being able to see that information, and then I asked her if that was something she made up, and that’s when she really had a hard time getting the words out — this is someone who I worked with over the last three years — but she did reveal to me that this is not something that took place.See AlsoZeets2 » 07 Nov 2025, 4:19 pm » wrote: ↑ Actually, if you had any brains, you'd be asking why are there homeless veterans when there are programs for free or subsidized housing for them?

Advocate ousted after exposing that New York favored felons over veterans for pot licenses“Shortly after that, when I asked her why she would make something like that up, she said, ‘I had to help the veterans.’” The bizarre twist in New York’s mounting migrant debacle came to light when management at the Crossroads Hotel in Newburgh denied that veterans associated with YIT ever stayed there, as first reported Wednesday by Mid Hudson News.Maher — who told The Post he’d spoken in person to two YIT veterans allegedly affected by the move on Friday — provided the local outlet and The Post with a purported receipt from Toney-Finch appearing to show she shelled out $37,800 to the Crossroads Hotel in Newburgh on April 12.A Crossroads manager told The Post Thursday that staff searched their system after the reports first emerged that they had supposedly booted the veterans, but found no reference of the YIT Foundation or Toney-Finch’s name.“I scoured the system. I mean, we went back, and there were no veteran organizations,” said the manager, who didn’t want to be identified.“There were no, absolutely no, veterans that were staying here that were asked to leave because of, you know, the migrants that were coming to stay here. Nobody was evicted. That’s for sure.” --------------------------Zeets2 » 07 Nov 2025, 4:19 pm » wrote: ↑ Actually, if you had any brains, you'd be asking why are there homeless veterans when there are programs for free or subsidized housing for them?

As alleged in the Indictment and in statements made in public filings and public court proceedings:TONEY-FINCH is an Army veteran and founder of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation (the “YIT Foundation”), a registered 501(c)(3) charity that was established in Sullivan County. TONEY-FINCH was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army with various commendations, but she never received a Purple Heart award.TONEY-FINCH’s YIT Foundation reportedly strived to raise awareness of premature births, offer assistance to premature babies and their families, and provide a place to stay or transportation while the babies were in the neonatal intensive care unit. The YIT Foundation also claimed to help homeless and low-income military service veterans in need of living assistance.In fact, the YIT Foundation was largely a fraud. TONEY-FINCH helped virtually no military veterans and, instead, used the money that had been donated to the YIT Foundation by bona fide military veterans’ charities principally for her own benefit, including to pay for her BMW, a gym membership, travel, meals, and other personal expenses. In raising funds for the YIT Foundation, TONEY-FINCH also lied extensively about her military service, claiming falsely that she had been injured in an improvised explosive device attack in Iraq and doctoring her military discharge paperwork to reflect that she had received a Purple Heart, among other things. In total, TONEY-FINCH obtained approximately $85,000 as part of the scheme.For example, in June 2022, TONEY-FINCH induced a local foundation that donates money to charities that serve veterans, food pantries, and domestic violence survivors to give the YIT Foundation $10,000 ostensibly to fund the construction of housing for homeless veterans. TONEY-FINCH used this grant money not to construct a home for veterans but rather principally to pay for her luxury vehicle and for her personal expenses at bars, restaurants, and gyms.In May 2023, TONEY-FINCH made national news after claiming to a newspaper that the YIT Foundation had been supporting numerous homeless veterans who were being evicted from a hotel in Newburgh to make room for migrants who were being bussed from New York City.“Sharon Toney-Finch falsely claimed to be a Purple Heart recipient and used her foundation to defraud donors and others induced by that lie,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton. “Let today’s sentence reaffirm that fraud built on lies about service and sacrifice will carry a heavy price.”

I SHOWED you the stories that even included one veteran who was thrown out of his apartment when it was changed to only house illegals, yet you don't believe it and are unable to refute it!
Nobody denies there were some who lied about it.
