The Doe Fund is a leading New York City non profit organization that operates the enormously visible Ready, Willing & Able program, whose participants clean over 150 miles of streets and sidewalks every day. With a
$69 million budget, 500 staff members and 46,000 individual donors, The Doe Fund is nationally acclaimed for the Work Works model which disrupts cycles of homelessness and criminal recidivism. We empower people to transform their lives through innovative work and housing programs.
Ready, Willing & Able (RWA) provides a working way home for men with long histories of incarceration, homelessness, and unemployment. At the core of this 12-month residential program is paid work—complemented by holistic social services, career and workforce development training, continuing education, and sobriety support.
