Construction Begins at 149 Mason Street to Provide Homeless
and Family Housing
May 30, 2008, marked the beginning of construction on an 8-story housing project that will provide 56 studios for chronically homeless residents in the Tenderloin. Construction is slated to be complete on this new development, located at 149 Mason Street between Ellis and Eddy Streets, in December 2009, with residents moving in early 2010. TNDC is developing this project with our joint venture partner, Glide Economic Development Corporation, a nonprofit affiliate of Glide Memorial Church. Glide will be the long-term owner and support services provider.

TNDC Celebrates 15 Years of Tenant Services
For our 27 years as an organization, TNDC has believed that the solution to homelessness in our neighborhood is to offer permanent housing rather than temporary shelter. Because low-income communities often have special needs, our unique approach to supportive housing combines affordable and safe home environments with voluntary on-site social services, fostering stable resident communities and boosting the chance of success for our residents.
TNDC Employees Prepared to Respond
TNDC Adds 32 Members to San Francisco’s Neighborhood Emergency Response Team
In January of 2008, TNDC held a two-day Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) training session, hosted by the San Francisco Fire Department and designed to educate average citizens to be prepared to assist in the case of a major emergency. 32 members of TNDC’s staff have now been certified to respond effectively and in an organized manner, should a major disaster affect our Tenderloin neighborhood.
Past Generations of TNDC Board Members Reunite
Dozens of past and present board members gathered to reconnect at San Francisco’s Villa Taverna on April 3 to share stories of the old days and to celebrate TNDC's present successes and future plans. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, this social evening was completely underwritten for the express purpose of celebrating those who have provided invaluable leadership to TNDC over the years.
