Breaking Ground

A very special #WellnessWednesday shout out to Amy Boyle from Deputy Mayor Been’s office, and our very own Michael Rosen and the Breaking Ground Asset Management team! When we needed it most, these two teamed up with The Supportive Housing Network of New York to source and distribute PPE to #SupportiveHousing providers across NYC. Thank you! s from last week’s The Supportive Housing Network of New York gala.

We’re just two days away from our first virtual gala. Check out the preview below, then head to https://breakingground.org/gala2020 on Thursday, Oct 29th at 8pm to join us in honoring David Brickman, with a special musical performance by the luminous Rita Wilson! #WeAreBreakingGround

Yesterday, Karen and Marilyn from our Scatter Site Supportive Housing program - with help from Mike on our Asset Management team - suited up for fire safety inspections in tenant units across the city.
