HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
The holidays are different for everyone. For some, it's a time to spread comfort and joy. For others, getting through the holidays can be really tough. This can be particularly true of folks who have lost connections to friends and family, having experienced street homelessness. Breaking Ground is a pioneer in providing and developing permanent and transitional supportive housing. More than that, we believe that home is a support system. We provide a full spectrum of wraparound supports that help people recover from the trauma of homelessness, achieve stability, and rebuild their lives in housing. Social activities for our clients are a great part of this effort. On Friday, December 20th, we will need 5-7 volunteers to help us bring a little cheer to our East Flatbush Safehaven, which provides housing and supportive services for homeless New Yorkers in Brooklyn.
Volunteers would be asked to serve food, drinks, engage compassionately with the residents, handout raffle prizes, and generally share your cheerful spirits with our clients who are struggling with housing stability this holiday season.
Spots are very limited. Sign up today!

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.
