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 Christopher, located in the Chelsea, offers 207 units of permanent, supportive housing to low-income New Yorkers, people living with HIV / AIDS, and chronically homeless individuals, including individuals with mental illnesses. The Christopher also provides housing for young adults who are aging out of foster care or have experienced homelessness. Good Shepherd Services provides comprehensive onsite social services, and Breaking Ground coordinates property management services.

At Breaking Ground, our residential buildings help to end homelessness by providing a home to formerly homeless individuals. The Painter is a part of the maintenance department that maintains the common areas and apartments of our residential buildings. Examples of common areas include offices, multi-purpose rooms, roof deck, garden, trash collection area, lobby, fitness room, and sidewalks. Basic plumbing, wood-working, and electrical work is required to maintain these spaces. The Painter is responsible for preparing, painting, and cleaning up assignments.
