Organizations Filed Purposes:
BREAKING GROUND IV HDFC, INC. ("BGC IV") WAS ORGANIZED ON OCTOBER 23, 2001, UNDER SECTION 402 OF THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BGC IV IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES UNDER (CONT. SCH O)
OPERATION OF A HOUSING PROJECT, called the Andrews, to provide housing, and employment services to formerly homeless adults & low income adults.
BREAKING GROUND IV HDFC'S (BGC IV) PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE IS TO support the tax-exempt mission of its affiliated organization, BREAKING GROUND HDFC. Located on the Bowery in Lower Manhattan, The Andrews is comprised of 146 short-term living units, including 138 units of Safe Haven transitional housing reserved for individuals served by Breaking Ground's Street to Home program and other outreach programs. For individuals not yet ready to transition into permanent housing, as well as those who may have struggled in other housing programs, The Andrews offers an alternative to life on the street: private, safe, clean, and affordable short-term accommodations. On-site case management and clinical services are available at The Andrews to meet the needs of its residents and to help them secure permanent housing. Breaking Ground interviewed more than 200 chronically street homeless adults to better understand what features of short-term housing would be most likely to entice them off the streets. In 2003, Breaking Ground and The Architectural League of New York held an open design competition for a new form of accommodation that would reflect their preferences. Competitors were asked to design a prototypical unit and show how 19 such units could be organized on a typical floor. The design of The Andrews incorporates design elements that address clients' concerns regarding issues such as privacy and personal space, thereby gaining their trust and ultimately helping to foster their transition to permanent homes. Most of the Revenues attributable to Breaking Grounds housing program are reported not as programmatic activity, but as governmental grants on Part VIII of the Form 990, hence the small allocation reportable in Part III, Line 4a.
