5-year Anniversary edition. Regretfully we had to pause for a bit, due to maintenance & layout fees. The April & May edition are combined.

Hello, again dear Challengers. There is a lot to be excited about this month of March. This coming Saturday will be the World Premiere of a feature documentary film about The Challenger Newspaper held at the Marchesa Hall & Theatre, as part of the SXSW Film Festival in Austin Texas. Yee-Haw!

The Challenger Newspaper is now also excited to share that our paper is now an official member of the International Network of Street Papers! There is a lot happening for us as we move forward in our efforts to bring attention to homelessness in Austin, and as usual there is a lot happening on the streets. Luckily we bring you the best of local street news from the people who live it each and every month.

Be sure to check out this month’s feature article, Hollywood, Madison Ave, Homelessness by Christopher, and pick up a full copy of this month’s paper digitally below, or out on the street anywhere you see our friendly local distributors. Thanks as always for your support!

Happy New Year Challengers! As we move forward into 2016, let us all take time to remember what it is we truly value most in life. Our relationships, loved ones, family, friends, and neighbors are what keep us rooted in community. Warmth, shelter from the elements, a place to rest, recharge and perhaps find a moments solitude, are equally vital. Yet how easy it is to take those things for granted for many of us that have never lived on the streets. We all at the Challenger thank you so much for your support of our Newspaper, which allows many of Austin area’s homeless to continue picking themselves up by the bootstraps and working towards a better life.

Wishing everyone a Happy, Safe and Joyous Holiday Season from all at the Challenger Newspaper. Thank you all for your support throughout the year. We look forward to serving you more of the best in local Austin news from the streets in 2016.
