South Hayward

Reimagined

Where visions meet actions.

Driving change through health, education, and opportunity 

Since 1992

Our mission is to preserve, strengthen, and empower our families, households, residents and community by increasing economic development; promoting safe and healthy neighborhoods, providing high-quality and well-maintained affordable housing and encouraging healthy lifestyles.

In the heart of South Hayward, the Glad Tidings Community Development Corporation (GTCDC) stands as a beacon of hope and transformation. Founded in 1992 by Bishop J.W. Macklin, we embarked on a mission to reclaim a community ensnared by drugs, crime, and poverty. Today, GTCDC is a testament to what’s possible when vision meets action—providing vital services in workforce development, health, education, and housing. As we look to the future, our commitment remains unwavering: to empower families, foster healthy lifestyles, and cultivate opportunities for every resident to thrive.
