Vendors earn an average of $45/day, with the highest performing vendors reporting single day earnings up to $400. In 2015, Street Sense continued to incubate new platforms for self-expression and the production of content aimed at public engagement. By years end, we were producing content in print, film, illustration, photography, audio and theater and staged performance. 45 un-duplicated vendors participated in workshops that produce this content. These workshops are led by artists in residence, practicing professionals who donate their time to the organization. These workshops provide homeless men and women a forum to express their views while raising their self esteem. In 2015, the theater workshop led to ten public performances before a total audience of 557 persons. We also held two film premier events that drew a total audience of 460 people. Street Sense encourages public debate about homelessness and poverty through their newspaper published bi-weekly with per issue circulation of 12,000, consisting of 16 pages of local news features, poetry and editorials.Street Sense also has an active presence on social media, promoting their print content as well as material from other independent sources on the issue of homelessness and extreme poverty. In 2015, Street Sense hosted four community forums on an issue related to homelessness and attendance was 240 persons.In 2015, to provide economic opportunities to persons who are homeless, a new workforce development model was piloted. The model teaches persons to write blogs for hire in the emerging market of digital content production. If successful, this model will be expanded in the future. 288004 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 4 true false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Brian Carome 2023472006 1317 G Street NW Washington DC 20005 Elizabeth Canizares Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Margaret Chapman President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jen Park Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heidi Keller Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Max Gaujean Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Reed Sandridge Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Martin Totaro Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robyn Kerr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Willis Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Jenny Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Senn Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeremy Scott Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Carome Executive director 40.00 0.00 X 70577 0 0 70577 0 0 0 false false false 7296 382870 9877 390166 Paper salesadvertising 511110 70916 70916 70916 20614 7296 17864 2750 2750 other revenue 900099 200 200 200 464032 71116 0 2750 X 70578 56462 10587 3529 88006 70405 13201 4400 12331 9864 1850 617 14378 11502 2157 719 5647 4518 847 282 36700 29360 5505 1835 327 262 49 16 15021 12017 2253 751 5574 4459 836 279 22547 18038 3382 1127 3002 2402 450 150 16975 13580 2546 849 3348 2679 502 167 Printing 34682 27746 5202 1734 Program costs 22460 17968 3369 1123 Vendor donation expense 2720 2176 408 136 fundraising 5707 4566 856 285 360003 288004 54000 17999 57158 74799 100000 30192 26945 2526 4420 70833 42499 37022 28334 126898 234498 29691 33262 29691 33262 X 93084 73080 4123 128156 97207 201236 126898 234498 104029 0 X false true X true false X 155615 188338 216116 240348 380289 1180706 155615 188338 216116 240348 380289 1180706 167658 1013048 1180706 290395 0.85800 0.98000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 70833 42499 28334 28334 X 628388 146492 17864 164356 464032 464032 524359 146492 17864 164356 360003 360003 Other revenues not included on Form 990 (Part XI, line 2d) special event revenue is netted against event expenses Other expenses not included on Form 990 (Part XII, line 2d) special event expenses are netted against event revenue Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X) For the year ended December 31, 2015, Street Sense has documented its consideration of FASB ASC 740-10 and determined that no material uncertain tax positions qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
