Kelly Cullen Community Rooftop
Sitting area amidst vegetable planters
The roof terrace includes fruit trees, a vegetable and herb garden, open tables and chairs -- and plenty of sun! The garden was designed as a space for residents to gather and experience nature. The laundry room was moved from the basement to the rooftop level to encourage residents to spend time there.

The Kelly Cullen Community is a result of the YMCA’s nationwide restructuring efforts to phase out its residential hotel business. The Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) purchased the historic Central YMCA and developed it into the Kelly Cullen Community, which is named after one of TNDC’s first executive directors, Brother Kelly Cullen. TNDC is a non-profit organization that has been providing affordable housing and services for low-income people in the Tenderloin and throughout San Francisco since 1981.
