Breaking Ground

500 units of affordable and supportive housing are coming to the Penn District. @BrGround

Here on Sutphin Blvd. in Jamaica, @BrGround has just built 173 units of affordable supportive senior housing, with units set aside for homeless New Yorkers. Thank you to Breaking Ground for today's tour of this site, and for all you do to care for the most vulnerable among us.

Safe Havens and transitional housing are vital bridges from the street to a home. 🏠 Thanks to @THECITYny for highlighting our work with @BrGround and @CUCSnyc: on.nyc.gov/49NAjM4. Shoutout to the outreach workers out in this weekend's storm—you are the city's safety net!

As the storm hits, our teams are working 24/7 to keep neighbors safe. ❄️ Watch this @News12 segment on our #CodeBlue efforts with @BrGround: on.nyc.gov/3NzNWHj. If you see someone in the cold who needs help, call 311. Our teams are out there and ready.

Thank you to everyone who made our Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day event so special — @UrbanPathwaysNY, @BronxWorks, @NYHomeless, @brground, @thedoefund, BRC, @helpusa, @projectrenewal, @CUCSNYC, @WSFSSH, @vocalnewyork, @WesthabInc, @NYCDSSCommr, @ProjectFIND_NYC, @sus_org...

@emmaubiera86 If you’re comfortable, you can also DM us the details and we will pass along to the appropriate teams.

@emmaubiera86 Hi there. When you call 311 and ask for homeless mobile outreach, it’s a Breaking Ground team who will respond within 2 hours anywhere on the street in Queens.

@BrGround I have a homeless family on my street and your staff are unresponsive to their calls. I have tried to reach the queens outreach and was told to call 311. 311 can not help as the family has already started work with breaking ground. How do I get them help?

@NYCCouncil @AhmedTigani54 @PiSanchezNYC @CMPiSanchez @BrGround Robert’s story isn’t rare—it’s a reminder. Every number in this budget represents a neighbor. A future. A chance at stability. We’ve got the tools. What we need now is fuel. Let’s get it done—for Robert, and for every New Yorker counting on us. 🏠

We’re partnering with @NydiaVelazquez, @EmilyAssembly, @SenGonzalezNY @BrGround @EvergreenEx and @NBKParks for a street cleanup of Eastern Greenpoint. Help us pick up trash around the new Safe Haven and under the BQE.  RSVP here: bit.ly/may6cleanup

With the @BrGround ‘Safe Options Support’ team now canvasing Staten Island, all five boroughs of NYC are now being served by this successful program, which has helped more than 680 chronically homeless New Yorkers into permanent housing: governor.ny.gov/news/governor-…

Be an advocate for our unhoused neighbors, like Brianna Oyeyemi and Shaun Aluko.

Doing makes housing more attainable. With our additional $500k commitment supporting their new affordable housing facility in Harlem, @BrGround can help more people open the door to a place they will call home. #BankOfDoing on.wf.com/6018vGJY6
