Mission
The Doe Fund's mission is to develop and implement cost-effective, holistic programs that meet the needs of a diverse population working to break the cycles of homelessness, addiction, and criminal recidivism. All of the Doe Fund's programs and innovative business ventures ultimately strive to help homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals achieve permanent self-sufficiency.
About
The Doe Fund empowers people to break the cycles of homelessness, welfare dependency, substance abuse and incarceration through innovative paid work programs, housing, supportive services and business ventures. Incorporated in 1987, this award-winning and nationally recognized non-profit organization remains on the cutting edge of homeless services, workforce development, prisoner reentry, low-income and special needs housing. As the umbrella organization for multiple programs, initiatives and real estate developments, the Doe Fund comprehensively meets the needs of a diverse homeless population. In addition to its flagship paid work and job training program, Ready, Willing & Able, some of the Doe Fund's other notable achievements include the creation of the first newly constructed S.R.O. in New York City in 50 years as well as the conceptualization, development, construction and subsequent management of the Peter Jay Sharp Center for Opportunity, a 400-bed state-of-the-art homeless facility that has redefined homeless services in New York City. With various revenue-generating micro-businesses, including a pest extermination company, the Doe Fund is on the forefront of social entrepreneurship, diversifying its funding sources while simultaneously providing industry-specific training opportunities for its programs' participants.
