Street Roots is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, that creates income opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and poverty by producing a newspaper and other media. It converts participation in journalism and media production into work and income for participants, while the published content aims to drive personal and social change. Its primary beneficiaries are individuals facing homelessness and poverty, and its reporting engages readers and the broader public through its media output. Within the nonprofit sector, Street Roots functions as a community-media initiative addressing economic and social justice through its publishing work. Recent developments include the launch of a new website in February 2026 and a partnership with Futel announced in May 2025.
