If you’re a regular customer of Street Sense, D.C.’s only homeless newspaper, but have been frustrated over the years with its lackluster online offerings, be sure to check out the paper’s recently redesigned web site, StreetSense.org. (Full disclosure: I’m a volunteer member of the board of directors of Street Sense, and consulted just a little bit on the design process of this site).

The new site, designed by CITI, offers regularly updated Street Sense content, a Street Sense Blog, an RSS feed, aggregated homelessness news from around the country, information on how to volunteer, a directory of resources for homeless individuals, a home for the personal writing of Street Sense vendors, and will eventually offer a map of where to locate the Street Sense vendor nearest you (the map isn’t up just yet).

The existence of the new site doesn’t mean you still shouldn’t regularly purchase Street Sense from one of their hardworking vendors, but if you enjoy the paper’s online content as well, please consider donating just a bit more through the web site.
