The Homeless World Cup was founded in 2001, after a conference of the International Network of Street Papers (INSP), of which StreetWise is a part. A conference of editors was one thing, but football (soccer) was a universal way to more deeply involve people who are homeless. The Homeless World Cup will be in Sacramento, CA July 8-15 – the first time in the U.S. We also look at programs run in Chicago by Street Soccer USA and how they help homeless youth and refugees.
