Brenda Rosen, CEO of Breaking Ground - formerly known as Common Ground - joins us today. Breaking Ground is one of Mayor de Blasio’s biggest partners for implementing the Home-STAT initiative and New York City's largest supportive housing provider. We will talk with Brenda about the recent rebranding along with how her street outreach teams talk unsheltered individuals off the sidewalk and why she feels the “Housing First” philosophy is the right philosophy for addressing street homelessness in New York City.
