Toledo Streets will be a Toledo, OH based street paper founded to benefit the unhoused and formerly unhoused who are trying to change their lives. As vendors (and possibly eventually advertising sales reps, journalists, office aids, and designers), they will be able to sell the paper at a 75% profit to themselves to help supplement their income and learn to be self-sustaining. As contributors, they will have the opportunity to have their voice – their opinions, experiences, and news – to be read by the local public in order to raise awareness of the issues facing those who are unhoused or formerly unhoused.
Our mission: To empower individuals struggling with extreme poverty to participate on a new level in the community through self-employment, job training, and contributorship.
