Are you looking to make a difference? Are you interested in connecting with our homeless community in DC?
Street Sense Media is conducting our first institutionalized demographics survey in order to better understand who we are serving. With this data we hope to be more effective at empowering homeless individuals through our economic and creative programs. We are conducting the 5-10 minute survey to our 150 privately contracted newspaper vendors who are experiencing, or have experienced, homelessness.
We will conduct the survey Monday-Friday November 29th through December 13th from 9am-5pm daily. We are asking for volunteers to join the effort for a morning (9am-1pm) or afternoon (1pm-5pm) shift, or any 2-4 hour time slot within the survey period. We will survey at our office location: 1317 G St. NW, Washington, DC 20005

About Street Sense Media

Mission Statement
Our mission is to end homelessness in the Washington, D.C. area by empowering people in need with the skills, tools, and confidence to succeed. Together we use a range of media platforms to raise awareness and spotlight solutions to homelessness in our community.
Description
Street Sense Media creates content in print, theater, photography, audio, illustration, and more, all for the purpose of providing economic opportunity for and amplifying the voices of people experiencing homelessness. The content of our media center aims to challenge perceptions of homelessness and those it affects while creating common ground upon which we can build a stronger community.
Our innovative approach harnesses the abilities, aspirations, and hard work of men and women experiencing homelessness. We have long known that while housing and economic opportunity are distributed unevenly, talent and creativity are distributed equally, without regard to income or housing status.
In addition to the economic opportunities provided by our newspaper vendor program, Street Sense Media provides case management services to help the men and women we work with navigate the often complex bureaucracies toward permanent housing, employment, and physical and mental health care.
At Street Sense Media, we define ourselves through our work, talents, and character, not through our housing situation.
