ABOUT US: - We believe that everyone deserves a home
Breaking Ground operates nearly 4,000 units of housing across New York City, along with housing in upstate New York and Connecticut. Supportive housing - affordable housing paired with services designed to help people maintain their homes for the long-term - is widely recognized as a proven and cost-effective solution to chronic homelessness.
But we didn't stop at providing housing. Breaking Ground's programs and services help people experiencing street homelessness - especially those who have been on the streets the longest - to come indoors. Through our Street to Home outreach program and transitional housing resources, we help people get, and stay, on the path to a permanent home.
Reporting to the Director, Housing Placement Services, the Senior SOAR Specialist oversees SOAR Specialists and works closely with the SOAR Specialists, program-based staff, clients, and collateral providers to assist clients with securing SSI/SSDI benefits. SOAR (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery) is an evidence-based model that helps individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness who have serious mental illness, medical impairment, and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder apply for Social Security disability benefits. The Senior SOAR Specialist is responsible for overseeing all aspects of SOAR benefits processes at Breaking Ground, including supervising and monitoring the progress of SOAR Specialists, completing and ensuring quality of all applications, and troubleshooting to resolve issues or barriers in the application process.
