Business Insider-
Not too long ago, San Francisco’s homeless tracking system consisted of a pile of papers in cardboard boxes. Now the city is launching a high-tech platform to identify every homeless resident and his or her level of need.
The launch represents a growing effort, led by newly elected Mayor London Breed, to crack down on the city’s very visible homeless crisis. San Francisco is one of the top-ranking cities for homelessness in the US, with an estimated homeless population of 7,500.
