About Time for Change Foundation

Time for Change Foundation's (TFCF) mission is to empower disenfranchised low-income individuals and families by building leadership through evidence-based programs and housing to create self-sufficiency and thriving communities. In 2002, our founder, Dr. Kim Carter-Tillman, took the pain of her past to create the remedy to end homelessness, family separation and incarceration. She knew that creating affordable housing and economic opportunities would give women the tools they need to reach self-sufficiency and reclaim their families. Today, TFCF's innovative approach has helped 3,800 homeless women become self-sufficient, reunited 323 kids from foster care back with their moms and created a model that is being duplicated across California. Time for Change Foundation is a beacon of light, “We call it Home, Others call it Hope.”
