Join us on October 30, 2025 to celebrate Breaking Ground's 35 years of service to New York City and to honor a distinguished individual who has devoted her career to the creation of affordable housing and economic opportunity for people from all walks of life.
Each year, the Celebrating Home & Community Gala raises vital funding to strengthen Breaking Ground's outreach and housing programs serving New Yorkers who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
This is a critical time for New York, confronting serious challenges at the intersection of mental health, affordable housing, and homelessness. People experiencing homelessness on the City's streets face extreme obstacles to overcoming a terrible condition, foremost among them the lack of a dignified and secure place to call home. Breaking Ground’s interventions help homeless New Yorkers attain that essential dignity and security for themselves and for our entire society.
