Substance use disorder takes everything away.
In recovery, men start reclaiming their lives, reuniting with their families, holding stable employment, and living in homes that are safe and secure.
READY, WILLING & ABLE IS A PROGRAM FOR SECOND CHANCES
Ready, Willing & Able Philadelphia (RWAP) works with Philadelphians facing serious social and economic barriers: 100% are homeless, nearly 70% of RWAP participants have incarceration histories of 5 years or more; 96% have a history of drug or alcohol abuse; and 36% do not have a high school diploma or a GED.
​
Despite these challenges, RWAP believes that "work works" to overcome poverty, addiction, and crime — and helps men become productive, contributing members of our community — and responsible fathers to their children — again. Our comprehensive transitional work and housing program helps men realize their potential and directs them on a path to independence.
