November 5, 2025 (Midtown, Manhattan) – Members of DHC’s Government Relations Team—Partner Charles Capetanakis, Associate Director of Government Relations Melissa Chapman-Samad, and Partner, Chair of NYC Government Relations Arthur Goldstein—attended our client The Doe Fund’s Forward Together Gala at the Ziegfeld Ballroom.

The evening highlighted the impact of The Doe Fund’s comprehensive housing and paid job-training services, especially their transformative Ready, Willing & Able (RWA) program, which continues to create life-changing pathways for individuals experiencing homelessness.

To date, RWA has connected nearly 15,000 people experiencing homelessness to jobs, housing, or both. This year’s Honoree was Citi Foundation; and the Emcee was PIX11 News Investigative Reporter, Monica Morales. Attendees included NYS Senator Brian Kavanagh; DSS Commissioner Molly Wasow Park; Acting HPD Commissioner, Ahmed Tigani, and Assistant Commissioner, Dan Moran; HRA Deputy Commissioner Meghan Smith; DHS Administrator, Joslyn Carter, and Program Administrator Joseph Viaud.
