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.
