Quality of Street Spirit aside, I have some questions about the value of the program.

To my understanding, the purpose of Street Spirit is a way for the Homeless to gain work skills, earn some cash, and otherwise learn to get off the streets. To this end, Street Spirit requires some training, etc. before allowing anyone to distribute it.

Is this the most Economical idea out there? Street Spirit is a niche publication, and must understand that it will achieve high publication only out of pity rather then widespread interest in its beat. Not only that, but can sales of Street Spirit approach even minimum wage work? I'd like to see a program that aims for self-sufficency, not providing a better grade of pencil for the blind to sell. What's the promise of Street Spirit? A higher wage... but still life on the Street? Help for those who are determined to stay on the outside?

Considering the time that goes into the entire Street Spirit program, they must have higher goals than that. But I don't see how higher goals could be reached.Email This Post!
