So from what I understand, someone who is homeless or living on the edge can apply and become a vendor– given 15 copies for the day…. any one have more info on how this works?
Can they really live off this?

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustin_%28Stra%C3%9Fenzeitung%29Can you really live off this? Well i guess it’s better than nothing. MUCH better. 10 euros can get you food for one day. And it’s better than robbery or pick-pocketing. AND it forces you to stay away from alcohol for the time while you’re selling…
There’s also The Global Player, somewhat similar. And others in Austria.

They are not necessarily homeless, some of them may be living in hostels and suchlike.
