France, United Kingdom, England, and many other countries have similar publications foe the homeless. This writing not only is interesting but it gives a homeless person something to do and make themselves feel good. It is sold by homeless people in New York City, and in February 1990, increased its frequency to twice a month instead of just once. It also expanded its selling to 15 other cities within that year. They will be sold in cities like Chicago, Los Angles, and Washington.
Advertisers fund the paper.
Each issue of the 28-page newspaper has at least 10 pages of ads. A large portion of the newspapers revenues ends up in the pockets of the people selling them, which are the homeless. They buy the paper for 20 cents and turn around and sell it for 75 cents. Since 1990 the paper has grown enormously, it now has online editions and is providing thousands of homeless people with jobs. Some topics that are published in these homeless newspapers are worthy of being kept in libraries, but the press often neglects them.
