Google gives free speech to San Francisco homeless

Google said that the voicemail will allow physicians and entrepreneurs to contact the homeless.

The problem for many homeless job seekers and homeless people with health problems is that while you can get with the assistance and health care in search of work, which generally do not have a way for doctors or prospective employers to contact them.

Google announced this week that it will offer free voicemail to every homeless person in San Francisco. The voicemail will cost nothing and the homeless can retrieve messages from any phone. Users will be able to leave their own personal greetings and the numbers are theirs to keep forever.

Google said that there will be nothing to indicate to the people calling the voice that is more than a local number. This will allow homeless to fill out job applications and to leave a contact number, which makes them more likely to find work. Numbers can also be used to enable doctors and clinics contact with the users, as well as give the family a way to reach the homeless.

Craig Walker, project manager for high-level Google told MSNBC, “Just seems just like any other voice message. There’s no stigma attached to consider that ‘hey this is a temporary thing” or “this is a number 800. ” It is not a local number owned by the user. “

The program is ready to start in San Francisco immediately and if successful could be deployed to more cities across the country in the future. Google also announced another new imitative today called Google Health that allows people to keep medical records in one place.
