Notes page viii: Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes community-minded partners to create a village. In the Tenderloin, this includes the thoughtful leadership and collaboration of staff from Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco; Lindsay Wilson, Mercy Housing; Mindy Robinson, Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC); Elaine Zamora, North of Market Tenderloin Community Development; and Sally Al-Daher, Arab Community Cultural Center (ACCC). page 13: Pat Zamora, the Tenderloin Clubhouse director who founded the “Safe Passage” program in 2008, building on the efforts of teen director Phanna Phay and program manager Vanessa Volkman, explains: “[We wanted] to ensure that younger children were escorted between the main Club and the Learning Center. Our hallway was the sidewalk that linked the two blocks, called Pill Hill. The Club united efforts with Elaine Zamora and Dina Hillard and the North of Market Tenderloin Community Benefit District to fund and support the first efforts around drawing attention to the safety of the children who lived in the community. Later, Bobby Lopez, SRO Lead Organizer, would involve the mothers of La Voz Latina in safety efforts in the Tenderloin and Safe Passage Program. In 2010, under the leadership of Dina Hillard and Kate Robinson, the idea of Corner Captains, and a sidewalk mural was added as another dimension of Safe Passage. Captain Joe Garrity was the Tenderloin Police Captain at the time who provided donated paint, trainings and police support.” page 18: The “Short Order Cook Wanted” sign is from http://nmisscommentor.com/food/what-is-thisthing-the-mayflower-calls-colbert-sauce/. “Cleaning in Progress” is from http://www.dreamstime.com/. page 38: Maria Colli, 13, snapped this photo of the rooftop lounge at Twitter’s new Tenderloin headquarters during a Clubhouse visit to the tech giant.
