WHO ARE WE? At TNDC, we know that housing is the foundation on which people build their lives. And we know that due to the high cost of living in San Francisco, many low-income indviduals, seniors, and families are forced to choose between paying rent and other necessities like food and healthcare. We are more than an affordable housing provider... we take a multi-faceted approach to strengthen the fabric of the low-income neighborhoods in which we operate. Click here to learn more about TNDC.

TNDC Builds a "Tenderloin People's Garden" to Bring Fresh Produce to the Neighborhood	Making College a Reality Since 2000: TNDC Celebrates a Decade of the Annual College Tour

The Tenderloin neighborhood, which is home to more than 30,000 people living within 40 city blocks, has no grocery store and very limited sources for residents to buy affordable fresh produce. "This is a big public health challenge for this community," said Steve Woo, TNDC Community Organizer. One of the Community Organizing Department's top priorities has been to generate new ways to bring healthy affordable food to this neighborhood. Beginning last spring, the Department of Real Estate has allowed TNDC to use a plot of land at McAllister and Larkin Streets to create a Tenderloin People's Garden. This community garden has enabled Tenderloin residents to grow their own food and give it away for free for the benefit of their community.

Maria Casteneda, Age 16 This year, TNDC's Tenderloin After-School Program (TASP) looks back on a decade of the Annual College Tour. Beginning in 2000, TASP's college preparedness activities for teens have cumulated each year in June with an Annual College Tour to an exciting cross-country destination, where participants have the chance to visit university campuses, learn about local culture, get a taste of independence, and see what life has to offer outside the streets of the Tenderloin.

TNDC and Eden Housing Preserve Over 2,000 Affordable Homes after Citizens Housing Transition - Listen to Learn How	RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT: SHARON RAY By Jackie Mollitor, TNDC Social Worker

The downturn in the economy has created significant strain on many non-profit organizations, including non-profits that develop affordable housing. Rather than shrinking its operations to subsistence level or waiting for crisis, Citizens Housing Corporation made a difficult decision to go out of business while at the same time meeting the ultimate goal of assuring the long-term affordability and quality of their portfolio. They reached out to Eden Housing and TNDC to help with the transition. Eden Housing, Citizens Housing, and TNDC Executive Director Don Falk talk with host Joanne Greene regarding Citizens' recent transition of its portfolio that preserves over 2,000 affordable homes.
