BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) — A Brooklyn Navy veteran who once battled homelessness, PTSD, and serious health challenges is now rebuilding his life with a permanent place to call home.
After more than 15 years searching for stability, U.S. Navy veteran Robert Pulliam found a home at Crystal Tower, an affordable supportive residence run by The Doe Fund.
Inside his new apartment, he finally feels safe, grounded, and surrounded by people rooting for his success. His new life includes counseling, financial support, and a strong community by his side.
Pulliam has reunited with his family, rediscovered his love of cooking, and is preparing to reenter the workforce at the age of 65. His team at The Doe Fund calls his journey a powerful example of perseverance and a reminder that no veteran should be left behind.
And there’s good news: more affordable apartments are available now through Housing Connect.
