A Do-Good Investment Firm Donates Against A Homeless Shelter

Description

According to Business Insider, The founder of a $26.5 billion do-good investment firm just donated to oppose a new homeless center in San Francisco Jerome "Jerry" Dodson founded Parnassus Investments, one of the biggest responsible-investing firms, which aims to do good while making money. This week the San Francisco resident donated $1,000 to a new GoFundMe campaign aimed at blocking a proposed homeless center. While the donation seems to fly in the face of what Dodson’s firm typically advocates for, Dodson's opposition to the specific homeless center comes from a belief that other locations would better serve the homeless.

The suit was filed when homeless students were unable to access the internet in homeless shelters during periods of remote learning this year. Business Insider reports the city provided students with iPads with unlimited cellular data, but many have had trouble getting proper cell service. US District Judge Alison Nathan wrote in her opinion that homeless students are deprived of their right to education without internet connectivity.
