Breaking Ground
Breaking Ground (formerly Common Ground) operates the Prince George Hotel shelter in Midtown Manhattan under a $29.4M DHS contract. The organization is widely cited by advocates and DHS as a best-practice operator — the Prince George is frequently described as a benchmark for what hotel-to-shelter conversion can look like under quality management. Breaking Ground also develops and manages permanent supportive housing units citywide.
Breaking Ground's positive reputation means it receives less public scrutiny than higher-risk operators. The $29.4M annual contract has not been competitively re-bid in multiple cycles.
