Common Ground Andrews

Common Ground Andrews is a transitional housing facility located in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The Andrews, a former lodging house built in 1901, offers short-term accommodations for individuals who are not yet ready for permanent housing or have faced challenges in traditional housing programs. The facility provides a private, safe, clean, and affordable living space for its residents.

At The Andrews, on-site case management and clinical services are available to assist residents in securing permanent housing. The design of the facility incorporates elements that address clients' concerns about privacy and personal space, aiming to build trust and support their transition to more permanent homes. The Safe Haven units at The Andrews are "low-threshold" resources, offering fewer requirements and more autonomy to residents compared to traditional shelters.

With 146 units reserved for street homeless individuals, The Andrews serves as a crucial resource in the effort to move chronically homeless individuals into stable housing situations. The facility offers intensive case management, mental health, and substance abuse assistance, with a Housing First approach to support residents in rebuilding their lives and transitioning to permanent housing.
