Our Mission
New Ground recognizes that the key to solving homelessness is not only to help the families who are homeless, but also to prevent it in the future. Our goal is to decrease recidivism and to empower individuals to function independently. We identify and respond to those families at risk through intensive case management programs that provide educational, technical, and emotional support.
Working with institutions in the public and private sector, New Ground involves existing agencies to respond better to the growing needs and challenges of Long Island's homeless population.
"Compañeros, take heart - though your roots be torn, they will grow again in New Ground…"
