Tonight at 5:30PM, The Doe Fund is hosting a town hall meeting to answer community’s questions regarding city’s decision to place 50 sex offenders in their East Williamsburg/Bushwick facility at 89 Porter Ave.
Earlier this month, we informed you that Department for Homeless Services has decided to place 50 sex offenders for housing in Peter Jay Sharp Center for Opportunity, a facility belonging to The Doe Fund. The Doe Fund runs there a transitional year-long residential work program called “Ready, Willing & Able,” which helps formerly homeless and incarcerated men through paid street cleaning work with vocational training and social services. 50 ‘men in blue’ will be removed from the program early and placed in homeless shelters instead.
