History
Street Roots was established in 1998[4] after Sharon Pearson of the "Burnside Cadillac" decided to retire, the office, equipment, and manpower was transferred to Street Roots Newspaper. Street Roots has acted as an advocate for homeless rights, supporting the establishment of Dignity Village in 2000.[citation needed]
In Street Roots received a $30,000 grant from the Street Access For Everyone (SAFE) committee funded by the City of Portland.[5] The grant was used to fund the printing of The Rose City Resource.
