Part 3 - Line 4a

THE TIMES SQUARE IS BREAKING GROUND'S FLAGSHIP SUPPORTIVE HOUSING RESIDENCE. BREAKING GROUND TRANSFORMED THIS BUILDING INTO THE LARGEST PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING RESIDENCE IN THE NATION AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE REVITALIZATION OF THE TIMES SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE WHILE DEMONSTRATING A NEW APPROACH TO ENDING LONG-TERM URBAN HOMELESSNESS. THE TIMES SQUARE COMBINES PERMANENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR LOW-INCOME AND FORMERLY HOMELESS ADULTS, PERSONS WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS AND PERSONS LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS. A RANGE OF ON-SITE SOCIAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY BREAKING GROUND'S SOCIAL SERVICE PARTNER, THE CENTER FOR URBAN COMMUNITY SERVICES.


SCATTER SITE LIVING PROVIDES CLIENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY IN AN APARTMENT SETTING WHILE STILL RECEIVING SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. THESE PROGRAMS ASSIST INDIVIDUALS WITH THEIR REINTEGRATION INTO THE COMMUNITY AND MOVE TOWARD GREATER STABILITY AND INDEPENDENCE. CLIENTS WORK WITH CASE MANAGERS TO DEVELOP MUTUALLY AGREEABLE GOALS AND SERVICE PLANS AIMED AT IMPROVING THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIVES. SOME OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED INCLUDE: *DAILY LIVING SKILLS AND MONEY MANAGEMENT *POSITIVE SOCIAL NETWORKING AND FAMILY INTEGRATION *MEDICATION MANAGEMENT *VOCATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES *HEALTH AND MEDICAL SERVICES*CRISIS INTERVENTION *CLIENT SELF-ADVOCACY STREET TO HOME OUTREACH

STREET TO HOME OUTREACH PROGRAM FOUNDED ON THE PREMISE THAT HOUSING IS THE ESSENTIAL FIRST STEP TO ADDRESSING THE COMPLEX ISSUES FACED BY CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS. STREET TO HOME IS A SYSTEMATIC METHOD OF IDENTIFYING AND PRIORITIZING FOR HOUSING THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN OUTDOORS THE LONGEST AND WHO HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK OF PREMATURE DEATH ON THE STREETS. THE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS ARE SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS "HARD TO HOUSE" DUE TO THEIR NON-RESPONSIVENESS TO TRADITIONAL OUTREACH EFFORTS (E.G., OFFERS OF A NIGHT IN THE SHELTER OR A WARM MEAL) AND THE CHALLENGES TO STABILITY POSED BY SEVERE AND PERSISTENT MENTAL ILLNESS, CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. BY TAKING THE TIME TO GAIN THE TRUST OF CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS GRADUALLY OVER TIME, AND OFFERING HOUSING WITHOUT CONDITIONS (E.G., SOBRIETY), STREET TO HOME DEMONSTRATES THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS DO WANT A HOME AND CAN SUCCESSFULLY SECURE AND MAINTAIN PERMANENT HOUSING.THE STREET TO HOME MODEL WAS PIONEERED BY BREAKING GROUND IN 2004 AND ADOPTED BY THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESS SERVICES AS A CITYWIDE STRATEGY IN 2007. THROUGH OUR STREET TO HOME PROGRAM, BREAKING GROUND MAKES CONTACT WITH AN AVERAGE OF 1,000 STREET HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND CONNECTS MORE THAN 300 INDIVIDUALS TO HOUSING, MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING, AND OTHER ESSENTIALS UPPORTS EACH YEAR. THE CARING, INDIVIDUALLY TAILORED ATTENTION CLIENTS RECEIVE AT EACH STAGE OF THEIR JOURNEY FROM STREET TO HOME ENSURES THAT MORE THAN 90% OF PEOPLE WHO BREAKING GROUND PLACES REMAIN STABLY HOUSED. BREAKING GROUND AND ITS PARTNERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING THE ENTIRE BOROUGHS OF BROOKLYN AND QUEENS, AND ONE-THIRD OF MANHATTAN.
