There is a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We cannot stop earthquakes, we cannot prevent droughts, and we cannot prevent all conflict, but when we know where the hungry, the homeless and the sick exist, then we can help.  –  Jan Schakowsky

Employment for the Homeless

100_1453

One Step Away

One Step Away Website   http://osaphilly.com/

One Step Away is Philadelphia’s first street paper aimed at raising awareness of homelessness and providing employment to those in need. With each dollar received, 75¢ goes directly to the vendor. The other 25¢ covers the printing costs. The vendors are people experiencing homelessness or joblessness. While the vast majority of One Step Away vendors are living on the street or in temporary shelters when they start with the project, most are able to use the money earned by distributing One Step Away to secure their own housing. You can check out our demographics and vendor outcomes here.

Mission

One Step Away has a twofold purpose: One, to offer those without shelter meaningful income opportunities and personal growth, and, two, to backlight the scourge of homelessness and lack of affordable housing in the Philadelphia area to bring forward solutions and changes so that everyone enjoys the shelter they deserve.

Writers

One Step Away is unique among the nation’s street newspapers in that the majority of the content is produced by the residents of Philadelphia’s shelter OneStepAwayInsidesystem. We believe that the best way to draw attention to the issues surrounding poverty and homelessness is to publish stories written by those who have experienced these issues first hand. Not only does this help to make the stories in the paper more genuine but also helps the writers build writing skills and self-esteem, making them more attractive to potential employers.

Vendors

One Step Away does vendor sign-up, orientation and training every week at Arch Street United Methodist Church at the corner of Broad and Arch in Center City. Contact us for more information.

We welcome all people without shelter throughout the Philadelphia area to become involved in One Step Away. We are a project of Resources for Human Development, a Philadelphia-based national human services nonprofit that serves tens of thousands of people of all abilities every year with caring, effective and innovative programs addressing homelessness, intellectual and developmental disabilities, behavioral health, addiction recovery and more.
