Providing Affordable housing over 50 plus year
Preserving Our Past. Building Our Future.
Tenants Development Corporation was established in 1968 to help the people of Boston by renovating, preserving, and maintaining safe, affordable housing in the South End. This historic area has developed into a dynamic neighborhood where people from diverse backgrounds live, work, and thrive. Over the years, TDC has expanded its renovation and management efforts to provide targeted services that elevate communities in Boston. Through outreach and government advocacy, we strive to improve the health, education, lifestyle, and economic opportunities for residents with low-to-moderate incomes in the Greater Boston Area.

Advocating for & Empowering All Bostonians
At Tenants Development Corporation, our mission extends beyond renovating historic properties and providing affordable homes – we also support the diverse citizens of Boston through community advocacy programs. By forming strategic partnerships with some of Boston’s most reputable institutions, we help provide services for local youth, adults, and seniors who are underserved or at risk of social or economic disadvantage. We empower our tenants by giving them a voice in everything we do and encouraging their collaboration in our advocacy efforts.
