Our Mission
United Recovery Fund’s mission is to support marginalized jobseekers facing barriers to employment, focusing primarily on people recovering from substance use disorder, many of whom have been justice-involved.
Headquartered in Portland, Maine,
United Recovery Fund empowers hundreds of individuals to achieve and maintain meaningful employment, while also cultivating a healing community that helps prevent relapse and recidivism.
Our Model
United Recovery Fund partners with MaineWorks, an award-winning B-Corp social staffing company to support our clients in their re-entry into the workforce following treatment for substance use disorder and/or incarceration.
MaineWorks provides the jobs.
United Recovery Fund provides the support each client needs
to show up to work confidently and comfortably each day.
