Ah, I see from the original article in the Intercept that it was about the OpenPower Foundation. Apparently the writers of this one couldn't even get the name of the organization correct.

Ah yes, I was very likely wrong when I said it was the last one. It was certainly the last one I saw regularly. I moved to Wallingford after that, and then later to Squire Park, before I left the area entirely.

Or, you know, unable to afford rent in places where there are jobs, so being forced to live in a car near the Amazon warehouse. Lofty standards indeed.
