Resident Services

Shortly after opening our first building, we established the Resident Services and Activities Program (RSAP) in 1985. It began with a weekday lunch program provided by the Salvation Army Senior Meals Program to ensure a nutritious daily meal, and gradually expanded with additional services, programs and activities.

Today TODCO offers a wide range of general and specialized programs, social services and activities, including social, recreational, physical, cultural, health, nutrition, trips, cognitive health and educational programs.

Our Social Services Program offers:

• case management,

• case coordination with outside providers,

• crisis intervention,

• referral and support for substance dependence,

• information, assistance and referral for benefits, nutrition, IHSS, housing resources, energy programs, and healthcare

• advocacy and assistance for property management- related items,

• appointment reminders and wellness checks, and

• community building among residents.

Through TODCO, residents can participate in:

• fitness exercise, arts and crafts, cooking, creative arts and music classes,

• movie screenings and games,

• nutrition programs, including weekday meals, weekly food pantries, and a senior food box program

• shopping and recreational trips within San Francisco and around the Bay Area,

• holiday, birthday and building anniversary celebrations, and

• our community garden with garden beds at Alice Street Gardens, or on building rooftop gardens.

Residents receive monthly newsletters with a calendar of events. Our materials and classes are translated into Chinese and Russian to accommodate our diverse resident population.

Each year TODCO provides more than $1,000,000 in direct supportive social services, special events, trips, arts programs, and other activities, plus additional nutrition program in-kind aid to residents of almost $500,000.

We pride ourselves on caring for our residential buildings and, most importantly, for the people inside.
