About Ready, Willing & Able Philadelphia, Inc.

Ready, Willing & Able Philadelphia, Inc. is a sober living operator in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia County, pairing recovery housing with paid work for men in recovery from substance use disorder.

A Philadelphia Recovery Housing and Employment Provider

Ready, Willing & Able has run its program in Philadelphia since 2001, built around the idea that steady, paid work and stable housing reinforce each other during early recovery. The organization is a nonprofit, and some of its staff bring their own recovery experience to the work.

A Partner of the Urban Affairs Coalition

Ready, Willing & Able operates in partnership with the Urban Affairs Coalition, a Philadelphia organization that supports a range of workforce and community programs across the city. That partnership connects the organization's recovery housing work to a broader network of employment and social services.

Paid Work as the Program's Core

Residents average around six months of paid work experience during their stay, alongside three daily meals and recovery support services. The organization treats employment as part of recovery from day one, built into a resident's routine well before independent living is on the table.

Licensed Recovery Housing in Philadelphia

The organization's housing is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, which inspects licensed recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017. That license reflects a level of state oversight larger than what a small, informally run sober house typically carries.

Reaching Ready, Willing & Able Philadelphia

Men interested in the program, and the agencies that refer to it, should contact Ready, Willing & Able Philadelphia directly to ask about current openings, the intake process, and how the work component is structured during a resident's stay.
