Covering the McPherson Square encampment eviction

WILL SCHICK

Editor-in-Chief

The very first edition of Street Sense, published in November 2003, features a story that details life in and around McPherson Square. Titled “Home base for the homeless,” it spotlights the work of various homeless services nonprofits who have continued to help connect people to the services they need. Throughout the years, we have re-visited McPherson Square and countless other places in the surrounding community to produce solutions-oriented stories about homelessness. When the National Park Service permanently closes the encampment at McPherson square on Wednesday, Feb. 14, we will continue to do what we have always done. Our team will be on site, reporting and elevating the voices of people experiencing homelessness. Follow our reporters on Twitter for updates.
