“When I first found Street Sense Media, it was like finding a life preserver in the middle of the ocean.” – Martin

Since 2003, Street Sense Media has been raising the voices of people experiencing homelessness and empowering them to transform their lives.

This change isn’t possible without your help. As we celebrate 15 years of impact, we ask that you continue your support of Street Sense Media by contributing to our fundraising campaign.
