Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze AB 1228: Public Post-Secondary Education: Campus Housing: Priority for Homeless Youth to create dialogue and discuss whether this policy is in fact making a difference in the lives of homeless students. This policy analysis grounded in Critical Race Theory Framework (CRT) specifically examines the barriers of race and foster care as intersections that are creating roadblocks to academic achievement for post-secondary college students. Results of this analysis demonstrate that although AB 1228 attempts to prioritize homeless and foster youth, it has done very little to provide outreach to those students and bring awareness of this resource available to them on mezzo and macro levels. Furthermore, since many of the homeless and foster youth are people of color, the historical perspective provides the understanding that race and racism are deeply embedded in this nation. For these reasons, one may determine that creating a policy in an attempt to address this concern, yet poorly apply it, while neglecting to provide outreach to the races and vulnerable populations, simply do not resolve the issue.
