The problem of homelessness in the United States has reached epic proportions.  But how can we understand such a complex issue affecting so many different kinds of people?  Writer Alison Owings decided to take on the challenge by exploring the memories of one man, Del Seymour.   Del’s story is one of triumph and redemption.  He went from living on the streets of San Francisco to becoming known as Mayor of the Tenderloin, the city’s neighborhood with the largest homeless population.  Del earned this title not just because of the jobs he created through the Tenderloin Walking Tours, but because of thousands he helped to build new lives through the work of Code Tenderloin.  Join me on June 2nd for a conversation with Alison Owings about her book Mayor of the Tenderloin: Del Seymour’s Journey from Living on the Streets to Fighting Homelessness in San Francisco.
