Breaking Ground
Job Description
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.
Located in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn, Redwood Senior Living offers 80 permanent units of supportive housing to low‑income or formerly homeless seniors. Elder Care Health Outreach provides senior‑specific programming to help our tenants remain physically and mentally active and promote social interaction. Redwood Senior Living is built in partnership with East Brooklyn Congregations.
Breaking Ground embraces a housing‑first and harm‑reduction philosophy with an aim at helping residents secure appropriate permanent housing. Reporting to the Program Director, the Office Manager is responsible for administrative responsibilities supporting the day‑to‑day operations for the Program, including bookkeeping, scheduling, note taking, maintaining filing systems, writing letters and other correspondence, and maintaining client data. The Office Manager is an important point of contact for building clients.
This is a 35 hour work week.
