The Homeless Voice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Homeless Voice is an American homeless advocacy center that operates out of Florida.[1] It was founded by Sean Cononie and runs a street newspaper by the same name. The center also ran a homeless shelter in Hollywood, Florida that closed in 2015.[2]
The Homeless Voice used as a fundraising tool for the COSAC Foundation to help employ their homeless clients. In 2008, newspaper sales totaled $985,698. COSAC collected $410,000 in other donations, bringing the total revenue to nearly $1.4 million.[3] In an interview with NBC, Sean Cononie (founder of the Homeless Voice) claimed that "The Homeless Voice revenue helps cover the cost of food, shelter and social services for more than 400 men, women and children each month".[4]
Paper vendors are typically homeless and sell the newspaper as a temporary job.[5]
The current Editor-in-Chief of the paper, as of March 2020, is Andrew Fraieli.[6]
