We are reporters at ProPublica, a nonprofit news organization. We write stories that hold powerful institutions accountable. Recently, we investigated what happens when local agencies take belongings from people experiencing homelessness during encampment removals, commonly called sweeps.
Now, we’re working with reporters in local newsrooms on projects about homelessness.
- New York Focus is investigating hotels and motels used to house people who are homeless. You can get in touch with reporter Spencer Norris.
- Maine’s Bangor Daily News is reporting on evictions, especially those from public housing authorities. You can get in touch with reporter Sawyer Loftus.
- In Oregon, Street Roots is investigating Portland’s response to homelessness. You can contact editor K. Rambo at [email protected].
If you have other information or tips you’d like to share related to homelessness, you can use our form below. We’re especially interested in hearing about whether your city has changed policies or if its interactions with homeless people have changed following a recent Supreme Court ruling.
Filling out the form below will help us get back to you quickly. But we know filling out forms isn’t for everyone. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get in touch. You can also reach us by:
- Texting or calling us at 415-286-5392.
- Emailing us at [email protected]. (You can find a public library near you to access the internet and send us an email.)
We appreciate you sharing, and we take your privacy seriously. We will contact you if we wish to publish any part of your story that you share.
