2023 Code Tenderloin ANNUAL REPORT
what’s inside
welcome note
Hello!
Welcome to Code Tenderloin’s first Annual Report. We thank our community partners at Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund for helping us publish this report As we approach our tenth year as a community organization, we are pleased to outline our work offering barrier removal, job readiness, and workforce development This report is a snapshot of our last year We offer you more than numbers; we offer the story of a dedicated team of community workers committed to the total family health and well-being of those in Tenderloin and Greater San Francisco.
Code Tenderloin continues to provide dignity and opportunity to a multi-layered community in San Francisco We administer services, education, and career guidance programs to individuals in various life transitions We work with our community, including the unhoused, sheltered, transitional-age youth, LGBTQ+, formerly incarcerated, individuals with substance abuse challenges, single parents, low-wage workers, justice-impacted families, immigrants, the elderly, veterans, vulnerable Queer communities and individuals with mental and behavioral health challenges Barrier removal is essential to our work, offering many people the first step in transitioning out of various degrees of homelessness
Under the leadership of our founder, Del Seymour, and executive director, Donna Hilliard, we invite you to learn about our work and stop by 55 Taylor to meet the people who make the Tenderloin a beautiful place to live, work, and play.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & Donna Hilliard Celebrating Success and Looking Forward to a Bright Future
As we approach the ninth year of continuing the mission and legacy of our founder, Del Seymour, I am delighted to reflect on the successes and achievements that have defined our organization's journey. It is with immense pride and gratitude that I present to you our Annual Report for 2023
This year has been a testament to our dedicated team's unwavering commitment and our programs' transformative impact. We cultivate a culture of excellence, fostering a collaborative environment and empowering a diverse team of talented individuals. A committed team of community organizers navigates an ever-changing landscape of socioeconomic challenges that consistently impact our client’s well-being. Through our various initiatives, The Job Readiness Program, The Community Ambassador Program, Night Navigators, Community Health Worker Program, Opportunities for All, Empowering Black Youth, and Code Ramp, we have successfully empowered individuals in the Tenderloin community to overcome barriers and unlock their full potential
We lead with “total family support” at the core. Families can learn job market applications, interviews, and digital skills alongside each other. Since 2021, the Empowering Black Youth Program has supported students through their next level: college, high school, living independently, or aging into one of our adult education and workforce development programs. These accomplishments underscore our mission to create pathways to economic empowerment and break the cycle of poverty.

community learnings
We meet our community where they are Residents housed and unhoused, volunteers, supporters, partners, and funders are supported through various wrap-around services We listen We learn We build together We activate spaces that include everyone ’ s needs, prioritizing those most vulnerable.
Khusar | Community Ambassador Lead
In service we commit to work in and for community each day It becomes apparent that sincerity is our greatest resource in successfully transitioning vulnerable community members to available resources There are communities inside of communities, overlapping and connecting Groups form for protection Safety is one of the most prominent topics on community members' minds (housed or unhoused) Our Code Tenderloin Van is activated between 7 pm to 3:30 am. At night we bring care, resources and most importantly safety.
We have learned everything from CPR/Narcan application to the process of helping someone gain stable housing Food is essential Without food resources, lives are lost A bag of groceries gives that piece of mind to join a class or training session Empowering a family member increases self-determination and spreads through a household Sometimes, it can take years if there is a traumatic event What matters is that the process is sincere and that we are here to support and celebrate each step you take
Douglas | Night Navigator Lead
Healing starts with showing enthusiasm, empathy working together with love and hope to understand that changes are possible, in all circumstances, regardless if it is mental emotional physical and or spiritual. Live in the now. Be. Now is all that truly matters. What we do today truly counts. What we achieve and master is what matters. What we do with now is what karma is truly about in our manifestation of the direction and energy emitted to be received and transmitted. We have the power to change ourselves, family, the people, and the community, the future is our decision We must realize the spirit is eternal and treat all knowledge as spirits of energy
Edgar | Night Navigator Lead
I have learned so many things since I've been working for Code T. I went from being hesitant to engage with people to engaging with any person you point out. I'm good at engaging with people because I've learned to be a very good listener and to have patience Along with that I've learned that every person is different and you have to treat each individual case differently I've learned that just because I or other people do things a certain way, there still are many other ways things can be done I keep my mind open and unbiased about how other people handle things. Engaging with peer organizations and partners is necessary. I'm always learning. Any different information I can digest that other organizations are working with is always a plus. They can learn from us , and we can learn from them.

IMPACT/DATA CAPTURE
We continue our commitment to sustain our datacapturing and reporting processes to highlight our organizational impact better We are working with a Tech for Good data team to design, define, and build a robust application for all program areas The application gives front-facing, on-the-ground teams the ability to capture real-time data in the palm of their hands.
We are upgrading our 24/7 Code Tenderloin Resource Line to a phone tree that automatically routes callers to the right person or department. The phone tree will reduce unnecessary transfers and not waste staff time finding the right person With the new upgrade, we plan to deliver information faster and provide increased support 24/7

CLOSING REMA
Del Seymour
These days, it's difficult for me to stay ahead of what’s coming down the pipeline because shifting industries are rapidly happening on every level and all at the same time
As a veteran and firefighter, I know how to stay calm during disarray. The environment might change, but the work remains the same. And it must get done. My experience tells me to focus on the people no matter the size of the fire. Regardless of the obstacles, we must push through and maintain the dignity of every person. Our priority doubles down keeping our doors open, access available, and barriers to entry low Moving forward, we plan to stay flexible, manage our growth, and adapt to changing currents
Transformation is the way Transformation is a core principle that Code Tenderloin embraces. When we show up to speak about Code Tenderloin, we speak to that transformation. Every story is a unique, powerful, and inspiring journey. The journey leads to the transformation. Begin your journey with us. And be fully supported along the way. Celebrate your full transformation with extended family, friends, and supporters
Donna Hillard is a transformative force in Code Tenderloin, now gaining recognition and due respect I’m proud to work beside her fierce work ethic and strong community leadership Donna and I both have lived experience with the work we do. Commitment guides our action and community organizing. Experience shows us a way to support everyone who walks through our doors. Love reflects on us each time clients step closer to their goals.
I invite you to walk on this transformation with us through the Tenderloin, meeting the residents, business owners, artists, workers, and people that make this place vibrant I welcome every opportunity to show you the power of community and unconditional love. The Tenderloin needs you, and you need the Tenderloin. It continues to be the heartbeat of the City. And that’s true tender love.
