DescriptionStreet Sense provided economic opportunties to 236 homeless men and women including 26 new, first-time vendors in 2012. Vendors earn an average of $45/day, with the highest performing vendors reporting single day earnings up to $400. In 2012, 25 homeless people also wrote for the paper, which provided them a forum to express their views while raising their self esteem. Street Sense encourages public debate about homelessness and poverty through their newspaper published bi-weekly with per issue circulation of 16,000, consisting of 16 pages of local newsfeatures, 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 2012, Street Sense began exploring web-distributed videography profiling the lives of individual vendors, and workshops for college and high school age students on topic of homelessness.Description
