Since 2002 Time for Change Foundation has been dedicated to helping homeless women and children achieve self-sufficiency by using an array of evidenced-based practices coupled with a strength-based approach to address their needs. Our humble beginnings included one shelter with six beds to now providing housing and supportive services in both Southern and Northern California. Additionally, through our statewide advocacy efforts we are addressing social issues at a systemic level to improve the overall wellness of our communities. Kim Carter, our very own founder of Time for Change Foundation, was motivated by her very own experiences as a formerly incarcerated woman, to help women and children make the transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency. At time for Change Foundation, we believe that providing women with training and the opportunity to develop life skills, in a nurturing and supportive environment, they will become independent, active participants in their communities. Our organization seeks to ensure that another mother doesn't lose time with their children because she is homeless. We hold on to the believe that everyone is deserving of a home that is nurturing and supportive and that housing is the foundation upon which we work and build our families to self-sufficiency.
