Member Demographics

From The Housing Center:

This toolkit was created to provide fair housing guidance for formerly incarcerated individuals as well as family members and professionals advocating for those impacted by the criminal legal system. Many formerly incarcerated individuals face continued penalties post-incarceration by being excluded from housing based upon their criminal records. This toolkit is meant to provide information on fair housing rights and resources that can assist in navigating barriers to finding housing.

In 2012, the Berkeley Student Cooperative (BSC) performed a survey of the socio-demographics of its entire membership. The survey had an overall response rate of 73% (1,256 members). The survey document, the survey results, and multiple presentations/ analyses of the survey results are attached. The BSC intends to conduct on a periodic basis in order to have more definitive data on their membership over time.
