Dallas Startup Using App to Connect Homeless Job Seekers With Work
Spencer’s past could be viewed as a problem, but longtime Dallas developer and philanthropist Trammel Crow sees possibility.
His Earth X fund chose Socialwyze for its inaugural entrepreneur in residence program.
Donations to the Earth X fund pay the wages of the people who find work through Socialwyze.
“Taking these people and giving them the occupation, and then pride they have and digity they gain is palpable,” Crow said.
