I entered San Francisco roughly 32 years ago.

And I drove in on highway 280, which leads right into the Tenderloin San Francisco's the grittiest neighborhood.

In 30 days I was living under highway 280 'cause I got heavily into drug addiction.

When I got out of the service that was when all hell broke loose.

There are other Del Seymours in this neighborhood.

So it's important to me to give them the opportunity for them to change themselves.

Always man, always good to see you.

I'm a coach here of the homeless coordinating board at city hall.

The meeting we're going to is a homeless encampment task force.

We have up to a 100 encampments all over this city.

San Francisco's one of the 7 most wealthiest cities.

We got camps within 30 ft of a store where you can buy a watch for 1.7 million dollars.

We should not have this.

You know, I've heard stories that this camp is spilling into the new emergency room at the general hospital.

Using their facilities and all, which is okay with me but...

But is that a fact?

I think that mostly they're using the Ralph Park toilet and I think there's a little bit of interaction with the swimming pool.

So is there a problem with the sheriffs about that?

For the parks and the bathrooms our park patrol's been doing extra walk-throughs just to make sure people aren't doing anything illegal in there.

Good, good, good.

In the housing field we're kind of marginalized because it's hard proving that generally our veterans are not nuts would it be a meth in their teeth or an M16 under the bed.

We're seeing a lot of brand new people at Tenderloin.

We're seeing brand new people everywhere.

And now we're going to the dining room at St. Anthony's.

They serve 3,000 meals in this small place a day.

This becomes a shelter at night.

So they'll take all of these tables out and put mats in.

Del wanted to know if he could bring his tour through the church.

He wanted to show the bright side of what people were doing in the tenderloin to take care of the folks that are living on the streets.

He treats everyone the same.

So he could be talking to Nancy Pelosi or he could be talking to someone on the street and he would talk in the same way.

Okay, so where we're going now is this is the home of Code Tenderloin.

Code Tenderloin was an organization I founded to raise the poverty level and to employ residents of the Tenderloin not in low paying jobs, but actually in the tech community.

Let me show the other two rooms.

We put 42 people to work in the last couple months.

From the people that you see walking by the street You know, when you talk about homeless veterans we're pushing for benefits for veterans that need their benefits we're also encouraging veterans to go back to work.

What we're trying to do is not a medical cannabis dispensary.

So have you kind of picked out a store front?

All that's done.

All that's done!

So what would a veteran, if you hired him, what kind of jobs?

Just like in a retail store, you put out the product you trim the product, your security jobs.

Like in the military probably less than 8% are combat.

The rest of the military is combined of coders, programmers.

We got X-ray techs, we got janitors in uniform.

One thing about being in the military, it's hard coming out and some guy that's all tattooed up with a skateboard telling you what to do.

We just don't get down like that.

We need reliable people who come to work on time I still get up every morning at 4 o'clock.

Yeah, I think veterans are a great asset.

You know, they complete their job and that's it.

And we're gonna be there.

We said we're gonna be there at 8 o'clock we're there.

Especially in this industry, we need some reliability.

Well you know, I'd be glad to advocate this and I can help navigate you through city hall.

Maybe even the mayor's office itself.

So you know, I'm here for you.

I'm glad at what you all are doing, I love it.

It's interesting because a lot of the vets that we see especially you know, sleeping on the pews are ones that say, "I don't need any help."

"I've served my country, that's fine, but I'm a survivor."

They're like, "I'm not a taker.

I don't wanna take disability."

or "I don't want to take social security."

"I'm not a taker, I'm a giver."

I've got to get with you for my jobs project, man.

Most of the people I've placed in the last two months have never had a job or haven't had a job for a long time.

Last time I worked was 2012 That's not that long ago.

We can get you into part-time at a wonderful coffee shop and you'll get benefits immediately.

That's what we do.

I'll come down to your place and we'll sit down and have a powow.

It takes a lot of different things, a lot of different people.

You know, as I tell people in recovery, You can fall 49 times, but you need to get up 50 times.

As long as you get up.
