Photo Adrian Pintor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt was 2014 and Darcel Jackson, who was homeless at the time, was laying in one of the 334 beds at Next Door Shelter, when he thought of something that shelters didn\u2019t have: Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n
Jackson, a Bay Area native, viewed a lack of internet access as a barrier between homelessness and opportunities for employment. While living at Next Door, a shelter at 1001 Polk St. that provides 24-hour housing in San Francisco, he realized that Wi-Fi and computers were non-existent.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving Wi-Fi is something that most people take for granted,” Jackson said. \u201cThey turn on their phone, they have Wi-Fi. So I thought the other half [homeless] could use Wi-Fi to better their situation, because most housing opportunities have you apply online [as do most] employment opportunities. And they need access to both those services to escape homelessness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Installing Wi-Fi in shelters was just the platform Jackson needed to come up with the idea of an app that could revolutionize how homeless people access housing and employment opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cAsk Darcel\u201d is a mobile resource app designed to better inform the homeless community about housing, job listings and also serves as a contact for medical and dental centers. The app is still in its development stages, but it\u2019s set to launch in August 2016.<\/p>\n
One of its features is a global positioning system that will provide the user with alternative options on how to reach the service and the expected arrival time.<\/p>\n
\u201cBasically what it does, it keeps you from running around depending on people that live on the street to tell you where the resources are,” Jackson said.<\/p>\n
Ask Darcel will also feature \u201cDarcel\u2019s List,\u201d intended to be very similar to Craigslist. Jackson says it will enhance the way homeless individuals seek employment. The objective is to post day labor jobs, Jackson explained, where workers will earn minimum wage and move toward a more stable lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Jackson said the app would allow the user to build a profile that will allow employers to view a headshot, full biography and a list of skills that could be applicable to specific jobs.<\/p>\n
The app will use a 0-5 star rating system where the employer could rate the employee based on previously done work, and vice-versa. If the user reaches five stars, bigger job opportunities would be available, such as working at a restaurant, for example.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe key is to create a motivational tool,” Jackson said.<\/p>\n
Ask Darcel will also feature motivational games, and an avatar named \u201cCasey,\u201d who Jackson hopes will teach the user about case-management. The more achievements the user obtains, the more wardrobe options you get to dress your avatar. Each piece of wardrobe will be a reward, such as obtaining identification at the DMV or getting access to counseling.<\/p>\n
Becoming, and overcoming homelessness<\/strong><\/p>\nJackson worked in construction as a welder almost all of his life, but eventually work became scarce and work-related injuries convinced him that his welding days were over.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got old,” Jackson chuckled. \u201cI couldn’t hang off a 30-story building and weld. Also my vision was failing.”<\/p>\n
After the 2008 recession, it was difficult for Jackson to find work. Then Jackson lost his housing, and eventually wound up at Next Door.<\/p>\n
Jackson spent 10 months at Next Door and several other shelters, such as The Sanctuary, until an opportunity arose to enroll in the Conquering Homelessness through Employment in Food Services (CHEFS) training program, which is offered for homeless adults by the Episcopal Community Services.<\/p>\n
Jackson completed a six-month non-paid culinary program, and now works as a caterer and cooks every Wednesday. But during the program\u2014one that started off with 19 students but finished with only three graduates\u2014Jackson witnessed the difficulty many homeless people face when striving for stability. Many of his peers dropped the program due to not having housing, drug addiction or a lack of commitment.<\/p>\n
“It was very challenging because I was 55-years-old,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cWhen I first started I already knew a little about cooking, but when I entered the program I told myself \u2018You are here to learn everything,\u2019 so that’s what I did.”<\/p>\n
Soon after moving to the Mission District, Jackson decided to attend a town hall meeting about whether tech companies could alleviate, or better, find a solution to homelessness.<\/p>\n
The town hall was held by tech entrepreneur Greg Gopman, founder of AngelHack who made headlines in 2013 for an infamous Facebook rant about San Francisco\u2019s homeless, in which he referred to them as \u201cdegenerates\u201d and \u201ctrash\u201d among other insults. Gopman apologized almost immediately for his comments, and has since decided that solving San Francisco\u2019s homelessness problem is a worthy endeavor.<\/p>\n
At that town hall, Jackson realized the meeting wasn\u2019t an open forum. A guest had to text their question into a pool of questions, and if it got enough \u201clikes,\u201d the panel would answer.<\/p>\n
“It was all high tech,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cSo I thought to myself: \u2018Homeless people don’t have access to this type of stuff [internet], so they can’t even participate in a discussion that is designed to help them.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
It was at that moment Jackson realized that not having access to the internet in this era can impair an individual\u2019s ability to improve their living status or even have their voice be heard at hall meetings.<\/p>\n
This motivated Jackson to approach Gopman about the idea of installing Wi-Fi in homeless shelters. Jackson said they talked and Gopman brought MonkeyBrains\u2014an internet service provider\u2014to the table.<\/p>\n
According to Jackson, Next Door Shelter wasn\u2019t interested in computers, but liked the idea of installing Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi has since been installed at Next Door and both Jackson and Gopman have created Shelter Tech, a nonprofit. Since then, they have been working to bring Wi-Fi to two low-income housing projects in the Tenderloin by August 2016.<\/p>\n
Jackson also announced his candidacy for District 9 Supervisor, but had to drop out due to financial reasons. He has since decided to work with candidate Josh Arce on how to approach homelessness.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s a social hazard,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cIt’s pretty much everywhere, but the way you deal with social hazards, just like we do with earthquakes, first we need to alleviate the problem and then put safeguards out there, so people attack homelessness before people become homeless.\u201d<\/p>\n
