Recently a “hackathon,” Creative Currency put together by GAFFTA, the Hub, American Express, and the City and County of San Francisco, brought together 150 people to figure out how technology could help those in the Tenderloin and Mid-Market areas of the city who do not have roofs over their heads, much less Web browsers.
