Common Ground Management Corporation

Our Story

In 1990, a dedicated group of individuals came together to create a revolutionary model of housing for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This initiative led to the establishment of Breaking Ground's Times Square residence, which has since become the largest supportive residence in the United States. Nearly 30 years later, Breaking Ground operates almost 4,000 units of housing across New York City, as well as in upstate New York and Connecticut.

Impact

Each year, hundreds of men and women successfully overcome homelessness with the support of Breaking Ground. Currently, more than 5,000 individuals find shelter under our roofs each night. Remarkably, 98% of those placed in housing remain housed one year later, and we assist at least 500 individuals in securing transitional or permanent housing annually.
