WRAP is best recognized for its publication Without Housing: Decades of Federal Housing Cutbacks, Massive Homelessness, and Policy Failures, which details Federal housing policy immediately prior to, and in the decades since, the advent of modern mass homelessness. The report was initially published in 2006, with an update in 2010.
