The Prince George

Do you know the ins and outs of the computing world? Are you a kind and patient teacher? The residents of the Prince George need your guidance.

Breaking ground exists to serve our most vulnerable neighbors: the homeless and those in danger of becoming homeless. Owning and/or managing 24 supportive housing sites like the Prince George, Breaking Ground offers a wide range of resources and services to help people recover from the trauma of homelessness, achieve stability, and rebuild their lives in housing. Some of these services include:

  • Benefits assistance
  • Primary medical care
  • Mental health care
  • Substance use referrals
  • Skills-building, self-sufficiency programs, and connection to employment services
The residents of the Prince George are all either low-income, or formerly, chronically street homeless, and they've expressed interest in participating in a computer skills-building workshop. Would you lead us? Items of interest are:

  1. Intro to Computers
    1. Turning on and off
    2. Logging in
    3. Mouse & keyboard
    4. Getting familiar with layout
  2. Microsoft Programs
    1. Word
    2. Excel
    3. PowerPoint
  3. Internet searches
    1. How to Google
    2. E-mail & Social Media
If you're qualified to teach this subject matter and have the availability to support a small group on Thursday nights at 6pm, we'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for considering our request!

About Breaking Ground

Location:

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.
