WCLP focuses on improving the rights of low-income renters, promoting equitable land use policies, preventing displacement, furthering fair housing, and ensuring that there is adequate production of new affordable housing. 1719536 345189 461243 Public Benefits and Economic Justice: WCLP works to expand access to jobs, income, and opportunity for the poorest Californians; to reduce the criminalization of poverty and racial bias in anti-poverty programs, public institutions, work environments, and financial services. WCLP also works to ensure that the public safety net is actually available when needed, and that people struggling to gain independence from welfare actually receive the supportive services the law affords them. WCLP guarantees that the voice of poor people is heard in the policy debates that affect their lives. 1768648 355048 474417 Health Care: WCLP works on behalf of low-income Californians to defend health care reform; create new state based health care programs; extend coverage to the uninsured; strengthen county indigent health care programs; expand mental health services; stop illegal debt collection practices; and ensure appropriate consumer protections when accessing health care services. In all of our programs, WCLP actively seeks to promote racial equity in California. We forcefully challenge, through our advocacy work, structural racism embedded within public and private systems; work collaboratively with legal services and other community based organizations to ensure racial equity; and actively engage in regional and national coalitions for racial equity. 5397161 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 22 0 43 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 50 50 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X X X Stephanie Surabian Dir of Finance 2134877211 3701 Wilshire Blvd 208 Los Angeles CA 900102826 David Elson Board Co-Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Lois D Thompson Board Co-Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Howard J Steinberg Secretary & Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Alex Beroukhim Director (end 9/23) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Erin Brady Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shane Brun Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Duane Campbell Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Cardoza Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Corinna Cherian Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Julia B Cherlow Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Maisie Chin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Felicia Davis Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Grant A Davis-Denny Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kirk D Dillman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Raquel Donoso Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daralyn Durie Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Megan Ebor Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diana Feinstein Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David E Fink Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marisol Franco Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jocelyn Freeman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John S Gibson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christine Goodman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Gottlieb Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joshua Hamilton Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Harding Director (start 12/23) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Hostettler Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jaelyn Edwards Judelson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Olivia Kim Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leif King Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan K Leader Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shira Liu Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Loran III Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica L Lunney Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael John Miguel Director (start 6/23) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ryan Nishimoto Director (start 9/23) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Paris Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alison L Plessman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Madhu Pocha Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sylvia Rivera Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Connie Chan Robison Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rey M Rodriguez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Shipley Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steven G Sklaver Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dianne Baquet Smith Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Patrick J Somers Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Butler Steyer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Abraham Tabaie Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lois M Takahashi Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dale Walls Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christine Wong Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Crystal D Crawford Executive Director 40.00 0.50 X 225574 0 19853 Stephanie Surabian Dir. of Finance & Administration 40.00 X 142710 0 15411 Heather Masterton Director of Philanthropy 40.00 X 148294 0 7000 Linda Nguy Assoc.
