Question[edit]

Breaking Ground has a new logo, as shown on its website (www.breakingground.org). I am too new to update it but perhaps somebody more experienced can do so? Squareblocks (talk) 15:58, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

These three residences are not listed on the Common Ground site, can someone please clarify? (They are listed in the 'Other Current Residences' section):

The prince?

Windham House?

410 Asylum?

Also Jamaica Safe Haven is listed on the chart/official websites, but is not discussed in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taylorluker (talk • contribs) 02:38, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since two of the three aren't sourced, and the third is sourced to a deadlink, I'm removed them fro the article. It's quite possible that the economic downturn caused Common Ground to retrench on their planned developments. As for the Safe Haven, I hadn't heard of it. if you're interested, why not do a Google News or Google search on it and see what reliable sources you can come up with, and then add it to the article? Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:57, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Thanks Beyond My Ken . Great work. I am pretty sure that "The Prince" is actually "The Prince George" so you were right to delete it (since there was no info on it, in what you deleted). Also it seems "410 Asylum" is actually "Hollander", so I will combine in the original info. Also Windham house, although not on the official site, is under construction and I will provide a news article link. Thanks so much! Taylorluker (talk)

Concerned re: Inaccurate/Outdated Information[edit]

I have no experience editing Wikipedia, so please let me know if I misstep at all. I certainly mean no offense. I work at Common Ground and have some concerns about the accuracy and completeness of this entry. I am aware that an individual is advised not to edit pages with which they could have a conflict of interest and hoped that someone else who visits this page would help to ensure its accuracy.

My specific concerns are as follows:

1. The page lists the Foyer program as a program of Common Ground's. While it exists on the premises of our Christopher building, it is run by Good Shepherd Services. Details of that relationship can be found in the "Partnership" section of this link from Good Shepherd's website - http://www.goodshepherds.org/programs/out-of-home/foyer.html

2. The "Other programs" list is outdated. Current program list can be found on our website - http://www.commonground.org/our-programs/#.UxohkfnIZu4

3. The lists of "Current residences" and "Other current facilities" are outdated. An up-to-date list is found here - http://www.commonground.org/our-buildings#.UxoiOfnIZu4 If you click on the image of each building, a description and unit count is available.

4. "Facilities under construction" section is outdated. Current projects in development include Boston Road http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/housing-homeless-medicaid-money-article-1.1479796 and La Central http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/affordable-housing-la-central-importance-bronx-project-article-1.1559155 and http://www.commonground.org/news-and-events/common-ground-part-of-transformative-development-team-for-la-central-in-the/#.UxokHfldViZ

5. For the "See also" and "External links" sections, there is no legal affiliation between Common Ground in NYC and the overseas organizations listed. The only listed entity with which we are presently affiliated is the Prince George Ballroom. (In some cases, the organization listed appears to have replicated our model.)

Many thanks for any assistance!

Common Ground (NYC) → Common Ground (New York City) – The article should not be disambiguated by an abbreviation instead of a full name, for clarity. Epicgenius (talk) 03:21, 22 May 2014 (UTC) (timestamped 15:30, 30 May 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Request for edit from COI editor[edit]

[Copied from the editor's talk page. BMK (talk) 23:32, 7 December 2015 (UTC)][reply]

There is a lot of outdated information on this page. In the foyer section, for example, the founder's visit overseas seems much less relevant than the fact that Breaking Ground's residences are now home to Foyer programs in two of its residences. The programs are operated by separate agencies, Good Shepherd, and The Door. Can somebody please assist in making this factually correct and up to date? ^[1] ^[2] and ^[3] Thank you!

Thanks for your input, Beyond My Ken. Would it be possible to add back the additional information about the second Foyer program at The Lee, located at 133 Pitt Street? The program began in 2010. ^[1] Cityharmony (talk) 20:14, 21 December 2015 (UTC)User:cityharmony[reply]

Updating references: cost effectiveness of supportive housing[edit]

I'd like to request help, please, in adding more current references to this article, starting with the cost effectiveness of supportive housing. The second sentence of the article ("supportive housing costs substantially less than homeless shelters — and many times less than jail cells or hospital rooms") currently only cites an article dating from 2007.

Can the following reference be added? The following webpage, from the Supportive Housing Network of New York, a coalition of supportive housing providers, lists more recent research about the cost savings associated with this model of housing.^[2] Thank you.
