Hegeman Housing Development Fund Corporation

Our Story

In 1990, a dedicated group of individuals came together to create a groundbreaking 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 nation. 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, providing a safe haven for thousands.

Impact

Each year, hundreds of men and women successfully overcome homelessness with the support of Breaking Ground. The impact extends beyond individual success stories; countless residents find stability, enrichment, and a sense of community in our buildings, contributing to a healthier city.
