tndc is a great partner on it. so with that, congratulations to tndc, and good luck on all of our future collaborations. thank you. [applause] >> please welcome margaret strand. [applause] >> thank you. wells fargo is very pleased to be here. wells fargo has a commitment to invest in the communities in which it has a presence. this is our headquarters city. wells fargo takes significant deposits in san francisco, and therefore, wishes to give back to the city. unlike rich, i always have to say that in my talks, but that is an important part of how we do our business. we are a financial institution. we could not invest in the city unless we had partners like tndc to work with. like everyone else, we are pleased there is a community organization that knows but they are doing. we feel comfortable with them. they are on solid ground financially, but they also know how to develop these particular types of rehabs which are actually very difficult to do. they have a very strong population that they manage and they do so w

i look forward to many more with the tndc. there is a lot more to do. i walk in and marvel all of the amenities that we have, and units are so precious in this community. i can only thing, how many hundreds of others wanted to be in this situation? and they would want to have a mayor, board of supervisors, city and state agencies all working together in a less political setting, more in a community, social goals setting, where we can collaborate and put our money together and work with wonderful banks, like wells fargo, and others who are contributing to the financing of this building. it is not politics that rules the day. it is people that have great objectives that put down the barriers they can. the biggest barrier is the barrier of poverty. to put that away and to just people can live in decent housing all their lives, and the city can benefit to that goal. i want to thank everyone here who worked together on this. those that had to move tenants around in the building, keeping everyone safe. and while the construction was going on, there was a fire

decades later, i now have the opportunity to be here to show my gratitude towards an organization, like tndc, and to those who contributed building cr. while the thank you list is quite long, it is easy for me to identify the list of people who deserve the biggest thing to today. the residence and the on site staff who lived through all of our efforts, and patty boyle. residents and on-site staff experienced among the following inconveniences', and i'm only naming a few. early morning jack cameron, fire alarm testing, roof fumes, planned blackouts, and of course, sharing an old, rickety elevator with subcontractors. who knew that it would take 50 minutes to ride an elevator just eight floors, but we all did. in all seriousness, i want to thank the ccr residence and the on-site staff for allowing us to piece by piece transform this building into what it is today. later on today you see pictures of the tndc residence, and representational snapshot of those who were here during the rehab. an artist has installed a permanent piece of work to moralize is building in history. now i want to thank t
