StreetWise is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to empower men and women who currently are, or at risk of becoming homeless. StreetWise accomplishes this mission by publishing a weekly magazine which is sold to these men and women and they in turn sell it on the street for a profit. The publication is not a hand-out, but rather an opportunity for these vendors to become financially self-sufficient through gainful employment. StreetWise was founded in 1991 and has become a staple reading of the Chicago streets.

We used to purchase the Seattle equivalent Real Change when we lived there. I believe papers like that and StreetWise are a worthy endeavor.
