On Wednesday, July 25th, 2018, Breaking Ground is hosting a summer BBQ for our residents of Boston Road, which is home to formerly chronically homeless, single adults, many of whom have special needs. At Breaking Ground, we provide all sorts of supportive services for our residents from case management and self-sufficiency workshops to community-building, recreational activities. Events such as this BBQ allow our residents to come together as neighbors and build community within their walls, while we encourage them to reintegrate into the broader outside community as well.
We are looking for 5 volunteers to help facilitate this BBQ by setting up the event space, serving food and refreshments to our residents, and helping to clean up after the fair. Most importantly, volunteers should be engaging, creating a warm and inviting space for our residents.

Mission Statement
Breaking Ground’s mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by developing and sustaining exceptional supportive and affordable housing as well as programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers.
Description
At Breaking Ground, we believe that everyone deserves a home.
That’s why, since 1990, we have been providing permanent affordable housing for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Beginning with a single building, we are now New York City’s largest provider of supportive housing. We own and/or operate 24 properties with over 3,530 apartments in New York City and beyond.
- For chronically homeless people, we create safe, secure housing with essential on-site support services to help them address the psychosocial, mental, and physical health problems that are obstacles to independent living.
- For those at risk of homelessness, our affordable housing provides an all-important safety net.
Our work has enabled more than 13,000 people to overcome or avoid homelessness since 1990, and we increase that number every single day. At the start of 2016, we have nearly 1,000 units of housing in various stages of development in the Bronx and Brooklyn, and are significantly expanding our Street to Home homelessness outreach program so that we can offer help to every single homeless person we meet.
