Breaking Ground

Breaking Ground develops and sustains supportive and affordable housing and programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers. Its work includes permanent and transitional housing designed to provide safe, affordable homes and support long-term stability.

Supportive residences pair housing with wraparound services such as case management, social and educational programming, and connections to benefits and employment resources. Supportive studios are typically furnished, while affordable apartments and available amenities vary by building. Visit Breaking Ground’s housing information page for building-specific details and application guidance.

People seeking homelessness assistance can also review NHREA’s New York homeless assistance resources and federal assistance resources. Visit Breaking Ground’s official programs page for additional information.
