We hope you'll buy street roots from one of over 70 active vendors who buy and resell street roots in the Portland metropolitan area and Vancouver.
Vendors normally purchase papers for 25¢ each and sell them for $1 each. The 75¢ that a vendor nets from each paper sold helps him or her meet basic housing, food, clothing, and hygiene needs. Many vendors support themselves primarily through sales of the paper.
Stay abreast of local trends, events, and policies affecting poor and homeless people in Portland, nationally and internationally.
Most of the breaking stories reported in street roots are exclusives, covered nowhere else. In addition, each feature-filled issue highlights poetry and art contributed by local homeless artists.
Four times a year street roots publishes special poetry and arts editions, jam-packed with creative submissions from local artists.
