WRAP is grounded in the experiences of those who live with and work on the frontlines of homelessness and poverty.  Our mission is to:

1. expose the root causes of homelessness
2. challenge unjust housing and economic development policies
3. fight the criminalization of poverty

We are rooted in the philosophy that each of us has something to teach and each of us has something to learn. We believe that real change comes through listening, researching, and responding to our communities aspirations and challenges.

Goals

• Unite local social justice organizations into a movement that is inclusive and shares power with all members of the community.
• Hold the federal government responsible for restoring affordable housing funding and protecting poor and homeless people's rights.
• Develop effective and socially just solutions to all barriers that prevent the ending of homelessness.
• Ensure the policies and priorities of local, state and federal governments are grounded in the common truths of poor and homeless people.
