@BrGround has connected New Yorkers to essential services for nearly four decades, and through their work, continues to bring new jobs, economic opportunities and housing to our city — serving more than 13,000 vulnerable New Yorkers each year.
It was an honor to celebrate Breaking Ground’s commitment to helping so many of our neighbors thrive at their Home and Community Gala last night.
We are deeply grateful for their work to bring New Yorkers the housing, equity, and care they deserve.

At their last clinic, our NYC team was able to support 10 pet parents, 12 pets and distributed 3 spay/neuter vouchers! Thank you to our amazing volunteers and community partners including
@BrGround and Positive Tails.

"The real villain in the spending data is not homeless service providers, it is the housing market.... Street homelessness is not, primarily, a story of people refusing help. It is largely a story of people who tried the system, had a negative experience and ended up outside. The city’s shelter system is the main feeder for street homelessness, and the housing market is the exit ramp that unhoused individuals can never quite reach."
Great piece in @VitalCityNYC by Amie Popisil COO of @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. 🏠
