Opinions

The Opinion Section of Street Sense is open to anyone as part of our mission to elevate voices and public debate on issues relating to poverty. However, we give a strong preference to viewpoints on local issues and the voices of people who have experienced homelessness firsthand.

Email [email protected] to submit a piece.

  • The opinions expressed are those of each author and do not represent Street Sense Media.
  • By submitting an article to this section, you invite feedback and changes from our team of opinion editors and consent to the publication of your work online and in print.
  • Submissions that contain hate speech or discriminatory language will not be considered
  • Please include a 1-2 sentence bio with your submission that explains your connection to our community and/or any experience that is relevant to your chosen topic.

News

We accept story pitches about issues related to homelessness and poverty that have a local angle. When pitching, please include a brief bio to introduce yourself and include a sample headline and brief overview of the story you plan on writing.

Most of our reporting is conducted by our editorial staff and a team of college interns. Learn more about our internship program here.

To learn more about other opportunities to volunteer, visit our volunteer page here.

Do you have a question about our community or a story tip you’d like us to follow-up on? Please reach out.

You can reach the editor-in-chief at [email protected].
