The proposed plan reflects about 5,297 square feet on the ground floor for community-serving commercial. The Tenderloin continues to lack a full-service grocery store; while that remains to be our interest, the space is not big enough to accommodate one. Moreover, as a result of changes in the Tenderloin and the central city over the past seven years, including the Healthy Corner Stores effort in which TNDC is playing a lead role, there are legitimate questions about the need for one. So our thinking is now more oriented towards a food security use, which might take a variety of forms. Moreover, if we cannot identify a possible food security-related use, or decide that other applications would offer higher value to the community, we will also be open to considering other community-serving businesses. These are issues on which we will be seeking the Council’s advice. More about Eddy & Taylor Family Housing Project... Developer: Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation, Location: Northeast corner of Eddy & Taylor, San Francisco, CA Project Description: 8 stories mixed-use residential with retail development. Residential: 103 units. A mix of studios, one, two and three bedrooms. Landscaped open space. 30% AMI or below. The remainder will be 50% AMI.

The letters on the facade of the U.S. Post Office at 101 Hyde St. are faded and weary. A single employee helps a streaming line of patrons with general delivery queries. The stamp-dispensing machine in the lobby bears a note that says its services are out of order. Located in the Tenderloin, the facility’s open doors, lack of security figures and the dearth of full-time employees make it a sheltered haven for criminal activity. Postal Patrons and their allies are seeking solutions to improve the quality or lack of service provided by the US Postal Service.

This is a section of the city that needs a voice, especially now that so much is happening to it and around it. Because so many of the residents are poor, few votes and many are dysfunctional; they can more easily be forgotten, shunted aside, rolled over, circumvented or exploited by landlords, bureaucrats, big businesses, out-of-towners and other neighborhoods.Central City Extra keeps residents informed about issues that affect them. It also is a forum from which otherwise unheard voices can reach decision makers able to improve life in the neighborhood.These are our readers — the 30,000 residents on fixed low incomes who live in the Tenderloin and the Sixth Street corridor and their more affluent newcomer neighbors.

Since 2006 the Central Market Community Benefit District (CMCBD) has funded and facilitated an array of activities that have made our neighborhood a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming place for everyone. The CMCBD is a “one-stop phone call” to deal with issues on the sidewalk and public spaces in the district.The CMCBD initially established for a seven-year term that expires on May 31, 2013. Now is the time to consider a renewal and possible expansion of the District and its neighborhood programs and services for a subsequent term. We are excited to begin a campaign to ensure this Community Benefit District (CBD) continues to provide the same valuable services to our community just as we have over the last six years.San Francisco Department of Elections counted the Central Market Community Benefits District's 806 ballots on 7/23/13. Ballot returns reached 67.15% (Weighted Vote) in favor. This CBD will have another 15 years to operate with expanded boundaries.

Served as a contributor to story leads. Death in the Tenderloin is our eulogy to this historic, notorious neighborhood and its medley of people, absolutely the most diverse community in San Francisco, the heart of the city in more ways than one. We want you to come away with a sense of how difficult life is out here on the edge. This book encourages us to think about death, next to birth the most important part of life. Yet these stories are not all somber, they brim with optimism. The obituaries are about people whose death, mostly quiet and independent, is dignified by their memorials, the setting for the ensuing narratives. Memorials mostly are conducted in the SRO or apartment building where the person lived. Typically they are officiated by Rev. Glenda Hope, the Tenderloin closer, who invites The Extra to attend to let the community know of the person’s passing and what they meant to those left behind. We edited the published obituaries, deleting courtesy titles and most dates, occasionally adding landscape details to sharpen the image of the Tenderloin and the people who live here. Most who are portrayed battled addictions, exorcising personal demons — or not.

Organized around MUNI's plan to transform O'Farrell and Geary Streets between Van Ness Avenue and Market Street. The proposed elimination of one traffic lane the addition of 81 yellow zones, the widening of the existing transit lane and the lengthening of bus bulbs are all changes with which residents and community groups are in general agreement. But the unanimous objection has been to the "consolidation" of bus stops. This becomes a service cut to a neighborhood that is extremely transit dependent, very low income, and suffers disproportionately from mobility impairments.

Youth Networks distributed educational materials (handouts, pamphlets, and organizing manuals) nationwide. Too many people are left out in the fringes of society. Left out from social relationships. Left out from health, education and economic markets. Often, it is because they are different in some way -- their ethnicity, language, physical or intellectual ability, sexuality, religion or another part of their identity. Using differences to exclude people leads to bullying and discrimination.

Advocated for adequate services to street youth providing stability, support and skills to find viable alternatives to survival on the streets. Street youth are those youth without permanent, stable shelter and often in need of food and clothing. Many street youth are sexual minorities—gay, lesbian, bisexual, prostitutes, or victims of sexual abuse. Often non-native San Franciscans these youth, primarily located in the Tenderloin, seek refuge in a climate more accepting of their sexual identity. It has been estimated that each year 1,000 of these youth engage in prostitution, as this provides an opportunity to make “fast money”. Many street youth are runaways and therefore fall under the category of status offenders, having left home because of difficult, often abusive, family situations.
