The Doe Fund’s Ready, Willing & Able program offers life-changing
opportunities to homeless individuals through paid work, transitional housing and
comprehensive support services. The beloved “men in blue” who clean more
than 160 miles of New York City streets every day have become integral to the quality
of life in our city. They are supported by thousands of community residents who recognize
and respect the hard work they do to rebuild their own lives while making New York City
a cleaner, safer, more humane place for everyone. |
