Breaking Ground (NYC Permanent Supportive Housing)

We are so proud to celebrate this important milestone with the amazing tenants of the Sack Wern Houses community, NYCHA Real Estate Development, and our great partners Asland Capital Partners and Douglaston Development. Can’t wait to see the results of this transformative project in the Bronx!

Thank you to this great team from JPMorgan Chase Commercial Banking for distributing more than 480 bags of groceries to tenants at The Christopher! Helping the people we serve stretch their food dollars makes a huge difference, and we are so grateful for the gifts of your time, talent, and support.

Congrats to this great team of Breaking Grounders on your presentation today at #HCH2024, National Healthcare for the Homeless Council’s annual conference and policy symposium! The presentation – Cluster Care: Providing Support to High-Needs Clients in Transitional Housing – detailed our efforts to assist people who need extra support with activities of daily living but do not qualify for specialized programs, such as medical respite. After a successful pilot program at The Andrews, we’re expanding enrollment across additional safe havens soon. Stay tuned for a recap on our News page!

Looking good in Queens! Check out the progress at Sutphin Senior Housing & Clinic. We're above ground and making great strides toward this 173-unit, all-electric, Passive House development at Sutphin Boulevard and 97th Ave in downtown Jamaica, our first supportive residence in Queens. We look forward to celebrating its topping off later this year. Sutphin is part of more than 2,000 new permanent housing units we plan to create by 2030. #WeAreBreakingGround #BuildingTheFuture #PassiveHouse #SupportiveHousing #AffordableHousing #Queens

To stabilize health, you must stabilize housing. Access to quality, affordable housing is essential for a healthy life. Homeless individuals are often caught in a vicious cycle: unmet physical and mental health needs have contributed to becoming homeless, and while homeless, these individuals cannot access the critical services required to address these unmet needs. They remain homeless. We aim to help end this vicious cycle by supporting innovative approaches that streamline access to housing and to essential health supports, for homeless individuals and families. We’ve granted $1.7M to Breaking Ground (NYC Permanent Supportive Housing) to help 650 homeless individuals enter supportive housing more quickly. “Accelerated placements means fewer days of homelessness and increased days of improved health for more New Yorkers. And the cost to house people is less than the cost to remain homeless,” New York City Program Officer Tracy Perrizo said. Our support for Breaking Ground is one of Helmsley's #HousingforHealth grants that aim to improve health by accelerating housing. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/euUmpRey
