Our Mission

The mission of TNDC is to develop community and provide affordable housing and services for people with low incomes in the Tenderloin and throughout San Francisco to promote equitable access to opportunity and resources.

We believe that everyone deserves to thrive, whether that means being able to raise a family, feel healthier, grow a career, fight for justice, or live in a stable home. But right now, the systems we all rely on are designed to create enormous barriers for people based on their income, race, spoken language, gender identity, and more.

Our Homes

Over 7,300 people live in our homes—families raising the next generation, seniors building their strength with Tai Chi, adults growing their career, and community members fighting for justice. People who want to live and thrive, but face enormous systemic obstacles to their basic human needs due to their income, race, spoken language, gender identity, and more.
