READY WILLING AND ABLE
www.rwaphiladelphia.org/

Ready, Willing & Able breaks the cycles of homelessness, addiction, and criminal recidivism by providing paid transitional work, occupational training, housing, and comprehensive support services to homeless individuals.

Since 2001, Ready, Willing & Able has helped hundreds of homeless adults graduate into lives of self-sufficiency by attaining full-time work, securing independent housing, and maintaining sobriety. Ready, Willing & Able trainees, often referred to as the "men in blue" — because of their trademark blue uniforms — work to rebuild their lives and work to keep many of Philadelphia's parks, sidewalks, public spaces and facilities clean — making the "City of Brotherly Love" a better place for all.
