The COALITION ON HOMELESSNESS celebrates ten years of publishing the STREET SHEET, America's oldest street newspaper written primarily by homeless people and sold by them as a working alternative to panhandling. The STREET SHEET provides a forum for homeless people to voice their concerns and opinions in editorials, news articles, poetry and artwork.

The STREET SHEET was first published in November of 1989 and for the last ten years has provided a perspective on homelessness, poverty, and social justice issues that is not available through the mainstream media. The Coalition on Homelessness, San Francisco was organized in 1987 to garner the active participation of poor people on both the design and critique of public policy and nonprofit services that result in permanent solutions to poverty. It is a unique organization in that the driving force is low-income and homeless people, working in every aspect of the organization from the volunteers to the staff and leadership body.
