Complementing Naseem Bazargan’s study, “Chaos and Control: A look into the radical culture of the Suitcase Youth Clinic,” is an equally compelling treatise by Natalie Khorochev entitled “Homes for Humans: Rethinking Homelessness from the Ground Up.” A Suitcase Clinic alumna who received extensive recognition for her thoughtful and inspiring tenure as General Clinic Coordinator, Natalie Khorochev authored this thorough exploration of homelessness for her honors thesis in UC Berkeley’s department of Sociology. It is an important document in the history of our organization, insofar as it makes extensive reference to the shared culture and ethos of the Suitcase Clinic, particularly that of our SPEAC (Student Project for Education and Advocacy in the Community) subdivision. It represents a professional application of our methodology towards a noble goal, and all of our volunteers are encouraged to benefit from her effort. The Suitcase Clinic is fortunate to have received her attention, and wishes her the best with her future endeavors. An abstract is also available. As always, all Suitcase Clinic volunteers, current and alumni, are encouraged to share their research projects with our extended online community.
The entirety of the study can be read below in a search engine-friendly format:
