TNDC Senior Development Applauded Nationally

990 Polk

The award-winning new senior development 990 Polk Street.

The votes are in... Affordable Housing Finance Magazine readers have named the new 110-unit 990 Polk Street senior building as the national 2009 Reader's Choice overall winner for new affordable housing. A TNDC development in partnership with Citizens Housing Corporation, 990 Polk Street was built to house formerly homeless and low-income seniors in the Tenderloin neighborhood.

With ground floor retail space to help revitalize the neighborhood and offices for on-site resident support service providers, the building also includes a large solarium, a community room with a kitchen, a computer center, and ample outdoor patio and community garden space, making it a pleasant and bright home for its resident community.

“We’re so excited to have received this nation-wide acknowledgment of the importance of our work,” said Don Falk, TNDC’s Executive Director. “Being chosen as first from among some of the most beautiful and well-conceived developments in the United States means our achievements here in this community are influencing the housing development industry on a national scale—we’re very proud of that.”

To ensure we are consistently meeting the needs of our tenants, TNDC conducts annual resident satisfaction surveys to ensure our property management services are meeting our high standards while creating safe, comfortable living environments for those we serve.  “We ask what our residents like and what they dislike about their housing, whether they are happy with our services and whether there are any serious problems we need to know about,” says Felicia Schruggs-Wright, Director of Property Management.

In this time of economic hardship for so many in our country, TNDC knows that a hearty Christmas meal is not always a reality for those who struggle in poverty.  In San Francisco alone, there were almost 150,000 people considered at risk of going hungry this holiday season – at a time when limited incomes barely stretch to cover basic necessities, let alone the treats and gifts that make the holidays such a joy. “Our pantries have reported a 15% increase in the number of patrons in the last year,” said Marguerite Nowak of the San Francisco Food Bank, who partners with TNDC to provide fresh produce and pantry staples for our limited income residents.  “Even if families are lucky enough to still earn what they used to, food prices have skyrocketed.  They might still have $10 for food, but $10 doesn’t go nearly as far now.” MORE
