"The words I would use to describe myself would be a queen, resilient, optimistic, and democratic. And I'm a good cook. (laughs) They call me "Cookie." I cook breakfast once a month for the tenants. I barbecue on the roof and everyone loves it. In the summer I go outside and give what I have left to the homeless. I've lived in the Knox, this will be my fourth year. I was homeless before that..." - [ Resident Not Pictured ] Credit: 'Stories of the City' Portrait Project 1991-2005 by 6th On 7th Photography Workshop & Gallery www.todco.org

“The Jewish museum’s closure is a terrible blow to the critical mass of Yerba Buena, which was always intended to be the city’s primary cultural center. It really hurts the whole downtown recovery,” said John Elberling, president of TODCO Group (Tenants and Owners Development Corp.), a nonprofit affordable housing developer and advocacy group headquartered in the neighborhood. The Yerba Buena Gardens — two blocks of public parks surrounded by housing, hotels, restaurants and the Moscone Convention Center that are the neighborhood’s centerpiece — were “terribly underused” this year, Elberling said. “We’re just not bringing people downtown to come to events and activities in the gardens.” Read the full article in the San Francisco Chronicle linked below.?? https://lnkd.in/gv623rAG #TODCO #SanFranicsco #AffordableHousing #Nonprofit #DowntownRecovery #SouthofMarket #YerbaBuenaGardens

"On September 27th 1,000 elder residents of all eight Yerba Buena Neighborhood senior residences joined together in Moscone Center’s Esplanade Ballroom to celebrate their 37th annual Senior Ball sponsored by the Center and the TODCO Group. These apartment blocks, intended as replacement low-income housing for 4000 SRO units demolished by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency in the 1970’s, are the heart of the Yerba Buena neighborhood today: Clementina Towers (built 1971), Silvercrest Residence (1972), Alexis Apartments (1974), Woolf House (1979), San Lorezno Ruiz Center (1980), Ceatrice Polite Apartments (1986), Mendelsohn House (1988), and Eugene Coleman Community House (2002)..."

An Untold Story: Alice Street Community Gardens — A Secret SOMA Treasure "In 1971 the first tenants of newly built Clementina Towers public housing found themselves in the midst of a redevelopment bulldozer wasteland, surrounded by the barren ruins of their one-time Yerba Buena home. Then, inspired by the first Earth Day in 1970, Walter Knox and his fellow residents decided to build their own community garden across Clementina Street on a 14,000 sq. ft. fenced off empty lot that had not yet been paved over by the Redevelopment Agency..."
