  • Global Street Papers and Homeless [Counter] Publics: Rethinking the Technologies of Community Publishing
    Global Street Papers and Homeless [Counter] publics: Rethinking the Technologies of Community Publishing Erin Anderson, University of Pittsburgh This article argues that community publishing initiatives might extend the scope and impact of their work by critically examining the ways in which technology influences the production and circulation of their [counter]public discourse. Building upon the work of Paula Mathieu, the author analyzes the material and discursive complexities of the “street •••••••••••••• paper” movement as a site of community-based publishing, finding both limitations and potential in the survival-driven, print-based, and hyperlocal character of street paper media. Discussing an emerging digital platform for participatory blogging among homeless and low- income street paper vendors, the author suggests how a model of Web-based, multimodal, and interactive communication might work to •••••••••••••• extend the community literacy practices of the street paper movement. ver the past decade, the field of communication studies has demonstrated increasing interest in a previously neglected Omovement of independent newspapers and magazines called “street papers,” examining the role that these publications play in providing a platform for self-representation and rhetorical action by marginalized people. Sold on public street corners by homeless and low-income “vendors,” street papers exist to provide these individuals with not only a source of dignified, low-threshold employment, but also an independent voice that speaks to issues that affect their lives and the lives of people like them around the world. While there has been • 76 considerable disagreement as to how well individual projects fulfill this latter aim in practice, street papers in general have garnered substantial attention for their potential to contribute to “small acts of participation” (Novak and Harter 406), “communicative democracy” (Howley 274), and “counterpublic” discourse (Parlette 96) in the public sphere.

  • Homes Not Handcuffs
    Homes Not Handcuffs: The Criminalization of Homelessness in U.S. Cities A Report by The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty and The National Coalition for the Homeless July 2009 ABOUT THE NATIONAL LAW CENTER ON HOMELESSNESS & POVERTY The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC and founded in 1989 to serve as the legal arm of the national movement to end and prevent homelessness. To carry out this mission, the Law Center focuses on the root causes of homelessness and poverty and seeks to meet both the immediate and long-term needs of homeless and poor people. The Law Center addresses the multifaceted nature of homelessness by: identifying effective model laws and policies, supporting state and local efforts to promote such policies, and helping grassroots groups and service providers use, enforce and improve existing laws to protect homeless people’s rights and prevent even more vulnerable families, children, and adults from losing their homes. By providing outreach, training, and legal and technical support, the Law Center enhances the capacity of local groups to become more effective in their work. The Law Center’s new Homelessness Wiki website also provides an interactive space for advocates, attorneys, and homeless people across the country to access and contribute materials, resources, and expertise about issues affecting homeless and low- income families and individuals. You are invited to join the network of attorneys, students, advocates, activists, and committed individuals who make up NLCHP’s membership network. Our network provides a forum for individuals, non-profits, and corporations to participate and learn more about using the law to advocate for solutions to homelessness.

  • Policy for Panhandling: How to Encourage Good Panhandling and Discourage Bad Gwendolyn Dordick, Brendan O’Flaherty, Jakob Brounstein and Srishti Sinha
    Think Piece 67 Policy for Panhandling: How to Encourage Good Panhandling and Discourage Bad Gwendolyn Dordick, Brendan O’Flaherty, Jakob Brounstein and Srishti Sinha City College, New York, New York Columbia University, New York, New York University of California at Berkeley and Columbia University, New York Columbia University, New York, New York \ Abstract_What does wise public policy toward panhandling look like? When a willing, reasonably well informed donor gives money to a panhandler, both are better off, and inequality goes down. Policy should encourage transactions like this. When a pedestrian is upset by a panhandler’s presence, does not give, and maybe even alters course, no one is better off and at least one person is worse off. Policy should discourage this kind of interaction. We examine an array of programs to deal with panhandling to see how well they encourage welfare-improving interactions and discourage welfare-reducing ones. Tentatively, credentialing programs are the most promising. \ Keywords_Panhandling, begging, panhandling policy, donor behaviour ISSN 2030-2762 / ISSN 2030-3106 online 68 European Journal of Homelessness _ Volume 12, No. 1, June 2018 Introduction Some people hate panhandlers. In The Mahabharata (book 13, section LX) Bhishma said: “Those persons who solicit others are said to annoy the world like thieves and robbers.” Some people love them. Peter Maurin (n.d.) wrote: “People who are in need and not afraid to beg give people not in need the occasion to do good for goodness’ sake.” Many jurisdictions try to regulate panhandlers (some to extirpate them), and, not surprisingly, these regulations are often controversial.

  • In and out of Sync : the Challenge of Growing Social Innovations
    Research report: September 2007 In and out of sync The challenge of growing social innovations Geoff Mulgan with Rushanara Ali, Richard Halkett and Ben Sanders In and out of sync The challenge of growing social innovations Foreword Social innovation has become a popular phrase with politicians and investors around the UK. This report is about how private and third sector organisations innovate to respond to social needs. It seeks to explain why certain social innovations grow and why others don’t. It tracks many of those reasons back to the environment in which the innovation exists – how much demand there is for it. But this is not a defeatist argument. Using eleven case studies, the best literature available, and a strong analytical frame, this report highlights how many innovators have sought to change the characteristics of that demand – in effect to create a market for their innovation. And it shows how choices that are under the control of the innovator (like organisational form) can have a dramatic infl uence on success. At NESTA, we like to work on research that has clear and practical implications. This report does just that – ending with a set of recommendations for policy-makers and funders of social innovation, and with a toolkit for innovators themselves. We also like to work with outstanding research teams who represent leadership in their fi eld. In this case, we have been fortunate enough to work closely with a team from the Young Foundation headed by Geoff Mulgan and Rushanara Ali. The fi eld of social innovation remains relatively undeveloped.
