Saw this, passing it along, another potential hackerspace in SF, this one
focused on teaching diy/hacker/maker skills to homeless folks and those in
shelters!

** What is the learning shelter?

On June 1st, [freespace] fellow Marc Roth

shared his vision for the Learning Shelter: a shipping container outfitted
with maker tools – 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, welders, plasma cutters
and more – to serve as a skills training center for those living in
homeless shelters. The Learning Shelter will also provide housing to
program participants (30 at a time for a 90-day intensive).
43 days later, there are 5 shipping containers in the parking lot at 1131
Mission!
