Senior🎓
Top SchoolSonja Trauss is a civic-minded founder and legal advocate with 13 years’ experience building organizations that enforce housing law and mobilize pro-housing constituencies across California. As founder and president of YIMBY Law and the California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund, she combines legal strategy, grassroots organizing, and public education to compel cities to follow state housing rules and advance specific development projects. With a background in mathematics, economics, and philosophy, she brings analytical rigor to policy litigation and coalition-building. Based in San Francisco, she has a track record of turning local volunteer energy into institutional legal capacity since 2014. A practical organizer as well as a strategist, she prefers email contact for professional inquiries and candidly lists herself as a “single digit millionaire,” signaling uncommon transparency about personal stakes in the housing debate.
