Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) celebrates the grand opening of the Kelly Cullen Community in the completely renovated historic Central YMCA building. Built with the support of many public and private partners, the historic and groundbreaking project brings together housing, social work services and a primary care clinic operated by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. Named for one of the founders of TNDC, the late Brother Kelly Cullen, the renovation will provide 172 studio apartments with easy access to healthcare and supportive services to help people facing complex life challenges to stabilize their lives and live with autonomy and dignity.
Lunch will be served

Mayor Ed Lee, City and County of San Francisco
Supervisor Jane Kim, Board of Supervisors, District 6

Erin Cullen Harris, Bro. Kelly Cullen’s Niece
Brother Kelly Cullen was one of the visionaries behind the formation of the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation. He cared deeply about people in the Tenderloin and was passionate about creating a thriving, diverse neighborhood. An Executive Director of TNDC from 1993 - 2005, Brother Kelly helped dramatically increase the affordable housing stock in the Tenderloin. Brother Kelly passed away in 2010, and his legacy lives on with the development of Kelly Cullen Community, a groundbreaking supportive housing environment that includes a primary care clinic.
The Kelly Cullen Community is one of three pilot programs in the United States that is combining housing, social services and patient-centered health care for chronically homeless people. By integrating affordable housing, care management and health services in one place, TNDC and its partners hope to improve health outcomes for the vulnerable men and women caught in a revolving door of emergency rooms, detox and other crisis services.
