Homelessness In Sweden
Homelessness in Sweden affects some 34,000 people. The Swedish government's response to homelessness has included commissioning national surveys on homelessness during the last decade that allow for direct comparison between Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The three countries have very similar definitions of homelessness, with minor variations. Some researchers maintain that measures to counteract homelessness in Sweden are largely dependent on a general premise equating homelessness with addiction, mental illness and deviance. On the other hand, youth homelessness is considered a child protection problem. Street newspapers There are several street newspapers in Sweden. ''Situation Sthlm'', was founded in 1995 and was Sweden's only street newspaper until ''Faktum'' and ''Aluma (street paper), Aluma'' were founded early in the 2000s. In 2006 the three street newspapers were awarded the grand prize of Publicistklubben (Swedish Publicists' Association). In 2013, a Swedish tech company ...

Street Newspaper
Street newspapers (or street papers) are newspapers or magazines sold by homeless or poor individuals and produced mainly to support these populations. Most such newspapers primarily provide coverage about homelessness and poverty-related issues, and seek to strengthen social networks within homeless communities. Street papers aim to give these individuals both employment opportunities and a voice in their community. In addition to being sold by homeless individuals, many of these papers are partially produced and written by them. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries several publications by charity, religious, and labor organizations tried to draw attention to the homeless, but street newspapers only became common after the founding of New York City's '' Street News'' in 1989. Similar papers are now published in over 30 countries, with most located in the United States and Western Europe. They are supported by governments, charities, and coalitions such as the Internat ...
