Residential Aide

ABOUT US: - We believe that everyone deserves a home!

Breaking Ground operates nearly 4,000 units of housing across New York City, along with housing in upstate New York and Connecticut.

Supportive housing - affordable housing paired with services designed to help people maintain their homes for the long-term - is widely recognized as a proven and cost-effective solution to chronic homelessness.

But we didn't stop at providing housing.

Breaking Ground's programs and services help people experiencing street homelessness - especially those who have been on the streets the longest - to come indoors.

Through our Street to Home outreach program and transitional housing resources, we help people get, and stay, on the path to a permanent home.

Reporting to the Shift Supervisor, the Residential Aide will assist in ensuring effective service delivery.

The Residential Aide will provide staff support and maintain program stability by providing assistance and monitoring the premises.

The Residential Aide will be expected to engage with individuals experiencing homelessness as well as with Program and Outreach staff.
