Queens, New York
Every veteran deserves a door of their own.
Rooster’s Place is supportive living for veterans facing homelessness — a safe home, a steady hand, and a community that stands watch until you’re back on your feet.
Our promise
They stood for us. When the mission ends and the ground gives way, Rooster’s Place stands for them — with a home, a plan, and a family that doesn’t leave anyone behind.
How supportive living works
More than a bed. A way back.
A safe place to land
Clean, private rooms in a real home — not a cot in a crowd. The first night is about dignity, warmth, and rest.
Someone in your corner
A case manager helps you claim the VA benefits you earned, sort documents, and build a plan that actually fits your life.
A path forward
Health, recovery, work, and permanent housing — step by step, at your pace, with a community that has your six.
A household, not an institution
You served in a unit. You’ll heal in one too.
At Rooster’s Place, mornings start with coffee and people who understand. Recovery isn’t something we hand you a pamphlet about — it happens around the dinner table, in shared chores, and in the quiet confidence of a roof that stays over your head.

“I hadn’t slept a full night in two years. Here, someone knew my name, knew my rank, and told me I didn’t have to figure it out alone. That was the night everything started to turn around.”
