Job Summary The Doe Fund is a non-profit organization that empowers people to break the cycles of homelessness, incarceration and welfare dependency through innovative work and housing programs. Our mission is to develop and implement cost-efficient, holistic programs that comprehensively meet the needs of a diverse homeless population.</p>
<p>Perhaps you have seen the "men in blue" of our flagship program, Ready, Willing & Able. They work in the Community Improvement Project, providing street cleaning services throughout Manhattan, Hudson River Park, and neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Jersey City, and Philadelphia. Work crews sweep streets, bag garbage and refuse, clear gutters, steam clean sidewalks, shovel snow and remove graffiti. In addition to providing paid work for the trainees, the Project provides a valuable service to these neighborhoods and helps to change perceptions of homelessness, as well as the participants' perceptions of themselves. Dressed in bright blue uniforms, the visible presence of Ready, Willing & Able trainees and the tangible evidence of their dedication and hard work refute the idea that the homeless are unwilling or unable to work. </p>
