Founded in 1999, Street Roots is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization in Portland, Oregon, that publishes a weekly social justice newspaper sold by people experiencing homelessness and poverty to earn an income. 

Between offering income opportunities like our Vendor Program and out media output, Street Roots serves as a catalyst for individual and social change.
