Mission Statement
The Sidewalk Project | No Barriers
Through various mediums, including art, music, film & public health, our group aims to be socially active and to empower houseless communities around the world.
Not a Crime or Illness
Houselessness is not a crime or an illness, but is often treated as both. It is simply a circumstance: to be without a traditional “home.” That said, there’s nothing safe or secure about living on the street..
What we’re doing is simple
There are no easy answers, but we believe in the strength and resilience of the human heart..
Our Process
The Sidewalk Project (TSP), a lived-experience mobile harm reduction SSP, aids unhoused, drug-using, and sex worker populations, providing residents of Skid Row, Los Angeles case management including medical care and housing linkages and system navigation services. Our street team provides direct services including crisis response, system advocacy, wound care, job placement, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and creative community resources for mental health.
