The Policy Advocacy Clinic prepared this 2016 update for the Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP). WRAP is a non-profit organization that was created to expose and eliminate the root causes of civil and human rights abuses of people experiencing poverty and homelessness. WRAP seeks to develop socially just solutions to all the barriers that prevent the ending of homelessness. Sasha Feldstein and Marina Fisher, graduate students at the UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy and Nathaniel Miller, a law student at the UC Berkeley School of Law, researched and drafted this update under the supervision of Clinic Teaching Fellow Stephanie Campos-Bui and Clinic Director Jeffrey Selbin. UC Berkeley School of Law students Cindy Dinh and Joshua Epstein, and UC Berkeley undergraduate Hannah Stommel also contributed to the update. Michael Levy, Associate Director of Berkeley's Law Library, provided research guidance, and Olivia Layug Balbarin, UC Berkeley School of Law Clinical Program Legal Case Manager, provided invaluable editorial assistance. We also thank prior Clinic students upon whose work this update is built, including Ms. Fisher, Mr. Miller, and Lindsay Walter, a law student at the UC Berkeley School of Law. The Policy Advocacy Clinic is solely responsible for the content of this update. We dedicate this update to everyone in California without stable, affordable, and decent shelter.
