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.
