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. Learn more about TNDC.

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.

The amount of federal money allotted to San Francisco—used for basic social services like affordable housing, education, health care, food stamps, and city services like policing, transit, and water—is based on the number of people who live in this city. The last census count, which took place in 2000, undercounted the number of people living in San Francisco by around 100,000. This resulted in approximately $300 million in federal funding lost over 10 years, though some estimate as much as one billion dollars in lost revenue. MORE

When I stepped into Virginia’s room to interview her for this article, I felt as though I had entered an art museum. Virginia’s art work varies from colorful oil paintings to 3D intricately crafted beaded structures, inspired by her world travels. In fact, Virginia was working on a dragon when I first met her, something she has been working on since September. Virginia uses tweezers to construct images using only the smallest of beads. Virginia states that some projects take up to a year. MORE
