The voting has ended.

We are pleased to announce the preliminary findings of the TL Community Action Plan (TCAP) Participatory Budgeting process. The Mayor’s investment of $3.5M intend to support the Tenderloin community’s leadership and engagement to improve their community and neighborhood – your advocacy for a safer, cleaner, more vibrant and active neighborhood made this possible and we thank each and every one of you for voting and making your voice heard. 

The Planning Department facilitated this process which culminated in a two-week voting period – please see below the list of proposals with the vote count for each. All project proposals will now be reviewed for feasibility by the relevant City department(s). Based on that feasibility analysis, which includes analyzing the total cost, timeframe from start to finish, and the impact on the neighborhood, among other factors, we will have a final list of projects to be implemented. Our target to present that final list publicly is by the end of January. As noted throughout this participatory budgeting process, only viable and feasible proposals will be implemented.
