Homelessness can be solved. But it'll take work. RWW supports The Doe Fund's proven solution, which has helped over 28K people improve their lives and we are proud to be a Work Works Affiliate.

Did You Know: Employment is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT factor in reducing recidivism? We can end the homelessness-to-prison cycle—and it takes WORK. Learn more and get involved at doe.org/it-takes-work #work2solvehomelessness
Systems don’t change systems. People change systems. TheDoeFund's #WorkWorks model has been doing just that by reducing homelessness & recidivism in 7 communities across the US including right here in Washington, DC.
You can lead change by bringing it to yours. #Work2SolveHomelessness doe.org/work-works
