　　ABOUT US: - We believe that everyone deserves a home!

　　Breaking Ground operates nearly 4,000 units of housing across New York City, along with housing in upstate New York and Connecticut. Supportive housing - affordable housing paired with services designed to help people maintain their homes for the long-term - is widely recognized as a proven and cost-effective solution to chronic homelessness.

　　But we didn't stop at providing housing. Breaking Ground's programs and services help people experiencing street homelessness - especially those who have been on the streets the longest - to come indoors. Through our Street to Home outreach program and transitional housing resources, we help people get, and stay, on the path to a permanent home.

　　The Schermerhorn

　　Located in downtown Brooklyn, The Schermerhorn offers 116 units of permanent supportive housing to people living with HIV/AIDS, and chronically homeless individuals, including individuals with mental illness. The remaining units are for low-income community residents, the majority of whom are actively pursuing careers in the performing arts and entertainment industries. The Actors Fund co-sponsored the building and provides social services and emergency financial assistance, health care, and employment and training services to people who work in these industries. The Center for Urban and Community Services provides comprehensive onsite social services for tenants with special needs.
