SCHERMERHORN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND CORPORATION

Our Story

In 1990, a dedicated group of individuals came together to create a new model of housing for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This vision led to the establishment of Breaking Ground's Times Square residence, which remains the largest supportive housing facility in the country. Nearly 30 years later, Breaking Ground operates almost 4,000 units of housing across New York City, upstate New York, and Connecticut, providing permanent supportive housing that combines affordable living with essential wraparound services.

Impact

Each year, hundreds of men and women successfully overcome homelessness with the support of Breaking Ground. The organization not only helps individuals find stable housing but also fosters a sense of community and enrichment among residents. Thousands benefit from the consistent support and resources provided, ensuring long-term stability.
