Originally made by a team tasked to raise money from the streets for the shelter, the Homeless Voice was born from the knowledge that freedom of press was a way to raise awareness. We started as a flyer, then a 4-page newsprint, then finally becoming the voice of the homeless with the Homeless Voice newspaper and website in 1999.<\/p>\n

\n

The Homeless Voice Newspaper has three functions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Educate the public on homelessness and poverty issues<\/li>\n
  2. Provide temporary employment to those without a job<\/li>\n
  3. Raise additional funds for the Florida based shelter<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    The COSAC Foundation<\/a><\/h3>\n

    The Homeless Voice is owned by the COSAC Foundation, a multi-faceted non-profit agency that feeds, shelters, and arranges access to social and medical services to every homeless person that enters its shelters. We aim to enable them to return to a self-reliant lifestyle, but for the small percentage of people incapable, we provide a caring and supportive environment for long-term residency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
