Mission: GAAP serves homeless and marginally housed San Franciscans by helping them obtain the public benefits to which they are entitled. So long as there is a need for public benefits, GAAP provides education, empowerment and advocacy to its clients through the involvement of law students and community volunteers. GAAP strives to affirm the human dignity of all the people served and to hold public agencies to the same standard.
Programs: GAAP's programs include advocacy for General Assistance and Food Stamps; the SSI Project, focused on helping indigent adults with mental disabilities and made possible by a grant from The California Endowment; and participation in the CAAP Work Group, a coalition of community organizations who see welfare-related issues that makes policy suggestions to the City and Department of Human Services.
