Salesforce CEO Helps To Provide Shelter For San Francisco's Homeless Population

Description

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is putting $6.1 million into a project to transform a closed-down San Francisco hotel into halfway housing for the homeless, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The housing renovation project is a partnership between Benioff, San Francisco mayor London Breed, and local homeless advocacy group Tenderloin Housing Clinic. Benioff has been an outspoken proponent of a tax on tech companies, called Proposition C, that would be used to benefit San Francisco's homeless population. The measure passed during midterm election voting in November.

  • How They Blew It: Why Two Major Cities Are Dropping Google's COVID-19 Testing Program

    Gizmodo reports San Francisco and Alameda counties in California have stopped using Verily to test for the novel coronavirus. Google's health-centered sister company launched a $55 million pilot COVID-19 testing program earlier this year to set up mobile and stationary test sites. However, Verily’s services weren’t geared towards filling the needs of communities especially vulnerable to the pandemic. Specifically, the services put people of color, those with low income, and the homeless at a disadvantage for using Verily's site and accessing test results. Another complaint was that Verily reserves the right to use collected data for 'commercial product research and development.' While Verily says strict privacy controls are in place, critics say the system may still violate federal health data privacy laws.

  • Eagle-Eyed 5-Year-Old Helps Cops Nab Ring-Tailed Lemur Thief

    Newser reports a 5-year-old boy now has a lifetime membership at the San Francisco Zoo. The membership came as a thank-you from zoo officials for helping police nab a thief who stole Maki, an arthritic 21-year-old lemur. Five-year-old James Trinh left his preschool Thursday in Daly City, about 5 miles from the zoo, and spotted the primate. There's a lemur! There's a lemur! James Trinh Maki ran from the school's parking lot and hid in a miniature playhouse on the playground. The school called police who quickly alerted animal control and zoo officials, who eventually coaxed the lemur into a transport cage. Police said Friday they took 30-year-old Cory McGilloway into custody on a variety of charges both related and unrelated to the theft.
