About WESTERN REGIONAL ADVOCACY PROJECT

The Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP) is a San Francisco–based 501(c)(3) advocacy organization that organizes people with lived experience of homelessness and allied community groups across the U.S. West to fight criminalization, displacement, and other systemic drivers of homelessness. WRAP runs regional campaigns (including House Keys Not Sweeps / Stop the Sweeps), produces organizing toolkits and legal resources, and engages in strategic legal advocacy to defend the civil and human rights of unhoused people. Founded in the mid-2000s and operating with a visible online presence and active donation channels, WRAP coordinates local and regional actions, publishes research and “Know Your Rights” materials, and partners with law clinics and allied organizations on litigation and policy efforts.
