POPSLocal SF non-profit (Arriba Juntos) puts client & visitor identities at risk of ID Theft !
From August 2009, to date, December 7th, 2009: We have proof that YOUR CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT RECORDS are often left out on the streets -unshredded & unprotected, repeatedly by low income non-profit programs. Today, we are highlighting the non-profit ARRIBA JUNTOS who has been leaving YOUR CONFIDENTIAL CASE FILES on the streets, EVERY WEEK for the past 15 WEEKS !! We told them, in person and showed them... then, they ignored our warning that is was their responsibility to safeguard Confidential Client Files with the most sensitive personal, medical, criminal, civil, domestic information and details on them. We have photos, videos and some of the actual files... Shame on them ! Here is the story so far... Monday, August 10, 2009 - Good Samaritan resident sent text message from his cell to an SFHomeless group site, saying he found 33 gallon bin stuffed with Confidential Client records on paperwork of Arriba Juntos AND other local non-profit's paperwork.

POPSPerhaps the Coolest iPhone App Yet If you have an iPhone 3GS or Android device you can install the Layar app for free and then search for "recovery" or "sunlight" within Layar to find this layer. The layer works best near large cities where you are most likely to find recovery contracts, below is an example of what it looks like on the streets of Washington DC. This data is taken from the recovery.gov Where Is The Money Going? map which provides a KML file containing all recipient reported Contracts. As of October 30th this data will be updated with the final contract, grants, and loans. How We Made It If you're a developer you might be interested in how we made this. Fortunately Layar makes it quite easy and we've taken a further step to make it even easier if you're already using Django. http://sunlightlabs.com/blog/2009/recoverygov-contracts-your-phone/
