Homelessness in this world isn't going away easily despite all efforts to eradicate it as a syndrome and all sincere attempts to help people back on their feet by giving them a hand up, not a hand out.

People—including politicians and social scientists—like to say "The solution to homelessness is housing." Although the notion makes perfect sense, and is the obvious rejoinder to the calamity and immensity of the homelessness conundrum, it just may not be that simple.

Vision & Mission

Vision:
Our vision is that the economically disadvantaged have their needs met in a community where everyone is equally valued.

Mission:
We empower the economically disadvantaged in Greater Boston through  self-employment, skill development and self-expression.  By creating  forums, including independent media, we reshape public perception of  poverty and homelessness.

Get Involved

Spare Change is a community activist paper, and without the support of the Cambridge and Boston communities, we wouldn't exist.

Please, consider getting involved and giving back to Spare Change by volunteering, donating, or submitting story ideas. Look for more ways to get involved in the weeks and months to come as we offer additional functionality on our website.
