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 Senior Director, Employee and Labor Relations, the Senior Human Resources Generalist oversees the implementation and administration of Human Resources compliance and other programs and processes in field locations to ensure the most effective utilization of employees needed to maximize performance and service delivery. The Generalist ensures that direct support is provided to the field worksite locations. This ambassador of the Human Resources team is an influential, credible, and trusted partner to the Program and Property Management leadership who influences the alignment of HR and Operations by engaging the Program and Property Management leadership to gain acceptance for strategic HR, compliance, communications and other decisions. Specifically, and by directly supporting the Programs and Property Management staff, the Senior Human Resources Generalist will ensure the successful execution of learning and development, performance management, employee relations, labor relations, change management, and career pathing in partnership with Program and Property Management leadership.
