With support from the California Arts Council, Street Spirit will broaden the reach of the artwork and stories in our newspaper, promote equity in our community through compassionate storytelling, and realize a strong financial position in our next fiscal year.

Street Spirit eliminates barriers between unhoused people and the arts, providing vocational training in the process. Your support will complement matching funds committed by a diverse group of funders who are passionate about our mission. We will evaluate the impact of your support by tracking new artistic contributors and participants in our vocational training program, as well as the involvement of key staff. Street Spirit has helped unhoused residents change the narrative around homelessness for more than 30 years, and your support will strengthen our operational integrity.
