Breaking Grounds
Breaking Grounds transformed the historic site of the former Robert McBurney YMCA in 2004 to create The Christopher, a landmark in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Initially constructed in 1904, The Christopher now offers 207 units of permanent supportive housing for low-income or formerly homeless adults, including those living with HIV/AIDS.
Among its unique features is the Foyer Program, catering to young adults transitioning out of foster care or homelessness, providing tailored education and career development opportunities. The building also boasts a lush rooftop oasis, offering residents a peaceful escape from the bustling city below.
In addition to providing housing, The Christopher offers various on-site services such as a fitness room, computer lab, and 24-hour security, ensuring a holistic approach to supporting its diverse community of residents. The renovation project cost $32 million, resulting in a green building with sustainable features, further solidifying its commitment to environmental responsibility.
