Breaking Ground

NY's largest provider of supportive housing - the most humane, proven, and cost-effective solution to chronic homelessness.

[The Street Dog Coalition @thestreetdogco]

At their last clinic, our NYC team was able to support 10 pet parents, 12 pets and distributed 3 spay/neuter vouchers! Thank you to our amazing volunteers and community partners including
@BrGround and Positive Tails.

"The real villain in the spending data is not homeless service providers, it is the housing market.... Street homelessness is not, primarily, a story of people refusing help. It is largely a story of people who tried the system, had a negative experience and ended up outside. The city’s shelter system is the main feeder for street homelessness, and the housing market is the exit ramp that unhoused individuals can never quite reach."

Great piece in @VitalCityNYC by Amie Popisil COO of @BrGround

@NYCCouncil @AhmedTigani54 @PiSanchezNYC @CMPiSanchez @BrGround Robert’s story isn’t rare—it’s a reminder. Every number in this budget represents a neighbor. A future. A chance at stability.

We’ve got the tools. What we need now is fuel. Let’s get it done—for Robert, and for every New Yorker counting on us. 🏠

[Council Member Lincoln Restler @CMRestler]

We’re partnering with @NydiaVelazquez, @EmilyAssembly, @SenGonzalezNY @BrGround @EvergreenEx and @NBKParks for a street cleanup of Eastern Greenpoint. Help us pick up trash around the new Safe Haven and under the BQE.

.@BrGround is New York’s largest provider of permanent supportive housing, the most proven, cost-effective solution to chronic homelessness.

Alongside permanent housing, Breaking Ground’s street outreach and transitional housing programs help New Yorkers living unsheltered on the streets come indoors and restore their lives in housing. https://t.co/pHovQPvx61
