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 Times Square
The Times Square offers 652 units of permanent supportive housing to low-income New Yorkers, people living with HIV/AIDS, veterans, and chronically homeless individuals, including some with mental illness. The Center for Urban Community Services provides comprehensive onsite social services, and Breaking Ground coordinates property management services.
The Times Square is Breaking Ground’s flagship, supportive housing residence. When Breaking Ground acquired the building in 1991, The Times Square, a former grand hotel was transformed into the largest permanent supportive housing residence in the nation.
