the nation’s largest technology companies, including Twitter and Uber.</span> <span data-start-time='11083' data-end-time='19146'>At the same time, it has one of the largest homeless populations in the country.</span> <span data-start-time='19146' data-end-time='25813'>Homelessness and job displacement for local people continue to rise.</span> <span data-start-time='25813' data-end-time='32792'>But, one program is helping to connect the two worlds for job seekers.</span> <span data-start-time='32792' data-end-time='36104'>Del Seymour created the program.</span> <span data-start-time='36104' data-end-time='39354'>He was once homeless himself.</span> <span data-start-time='39354' data-end-time='44688'>For years, Seymour suffered from using illegal drugs.</span> <span data-start-time='44688' data-end-time='52083'>“And I wandered these streets like a zombie, day or night, for 18 years, using drugs, selling drugs, being arrested.</span> <span data-start-time='52083' data-end-time='54771'>I have 14 felony arrests in this neighborhood.”</span> <span data-start-time='54771' data-end-time='65938'>He spent those years in a neighborhood known as the Tenderloin, an area with an extremely high rate of homelessness and drug use.</span> <span data-start-time='65938' data-end-time='78188'>However, in recent years, large companies like Twitter, AirBnB and Uber have moved in or near the Tenderloin area.</span> <span data-start-time='78188' data-end-time='87792'>“But they started importing people from other regions and countries to work in the neighborhood,” Seymour said.</span> <span data-start-time='87792' data-end-time='96333'>That was hard for Daniel Henry, a formerly homeless man who hopes to get a technology job.</span> <span data-start-time='96333' data-end-time='104771'>“My friends see how tech savvy I am and, ‘You should be working in tech, and I was like, ‘You’re right, I should.’”</span> <span data-start-time='104771' data-end-time='112292'>A few years ago, Seymour started making phone calls to technology companies.</span> <span data-start-time='112292' data-end-time='120500'>He thought it was unfair for the companies to ignore local people, including homeless ones.</span> <span data-start-time='120500' data-end-time='126396'>“You’re not going to come in my neighborhood and ignore my people,” he said.</span> <span data-start-time='126396' data-end-time='130188'>“You’re going to include us in your business.”</span> <span data-start-time='130188' data-end-time='135188'>To everyone’s surprise, the companies started answering.</span> <span data-start-time='135188' data-end-time='140000'>As a result, Seymour started Code Tenderloin.</span> <span data-start-time='140000' data-end-time='152146'>It is a nonprofit organization that is giving homeless and other needy people a path to employment, including jobs in technology companies.</span> </p></div><div
