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.

The Scatter Site program provides community-based, independent apartment housing located throughout New York City and case management services for clients who have experienced chronic homelessness, substance use, and mental health challenges.

Reporting to the Senior Property Coordinator, the Property Coordinator for Scatter Site is responsible for working with the program's operations manager to prepare and maintain apartment units for the Scatter Site program. The Property Coordinator communicates and coordinates with property management and building superintendents at buildings with Breaking Ground's scatter site units. The role ensures repairs are completed effectively and promptly. The Property Coordinator ensures apartments newly leased by Breaking Ground are ready for new clients, including being freshly painted, fitted with working appliances and furniture, and equipped with welcome kits. The Property Coordinator oversees apartment repairs, conducts and documents apartment inspections, approves apartment turnovers, and manages furniture replacement as needed.

Using Breaking Ground's Asset Management database and Maintenance Connection, the Property Coordinator manages tenant work orders, communicates with social services staff and clients/tenants regarding their apartment-related questions and concerns.
