Breaking Ground is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit focused on housing and services for people who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness, anchored in the model of permanent supportive housing. It originated in 1990 with the Times Square residence, a large-scale complex that remains the country’s largest example of supportive housing. Today the organization operates roughly 4,000 housing units across New York City, upstate New York, and Connecticut, combining affordable housing with wraparound supports intended to help residents sustain their homes over the long term. Its work includes Street to Home outreach and transitional housing resources designed to bring people indoors and onto a path toward permanent housing. As a major nonprofit in the regional housing and social services landscape, Breaking Ground targets individuals and families at the edge of homelessness and provides housing paired with supportive services to prevent regression into homelessness.
