About The Position

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. Reporting to the Operations and Logistics Director, the Operations Specialist, Outreach oversees operations of the BOROUGH based, 24/7 Street Outreach program’s vehicles and facilities. The Operations Specialist manages a fleet of at least 8 vehicles and is responsible for the tracking and maintenance of the fleet. The Operations Specialist works closely with the program staff leadership as well as staff in other departments throughout the organization as well as coordinate with outside vendors to ensure outreach facilities and assets are properly maintained. They will be the primary point of contact for all facility and vehicle matters for the Outreach Teams and will act as a liaison between Breaking Ground’s Asset Management team, vendors, and Street to Home BOROUGH management.
