TNDC's mission is to make the Tenderloin neighborhood a better place to live for extremely low-income people by providing safe, service-enriched affordable housing and cooperating in community improvement and development efforts.
Founded in 1981, the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) currently owns 32 buildings and houses over 3,000 San Franciscans--primarily people who earn $5,000 to $25,000 a year. Serving the Tenderloin and central-city neighborhoods, TNDC also provides support services, including social workers and the Tenderloin After-School Program, a drop-in center for neighborhood children.
