What Time for Change Foundation does

Time for Change Foundation is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization founded in 2002 by Dr. Kim Carter-Tillman. The organization delivers a continuum-of-care model combining emergency shelter, permanent supportive housing, affordable housing development, and supportive services (AOD counseling, case management, parenting education, family reunification, employment training, legal services, and transportation) to homeless women, children, formerly incarcerated individuals, and re-entry populations across Southern and Northern California. Program delivery is grounded in evidence-based clinical frameworks including Therapeutic Community Treatment, Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN), Seeking Safety, Trauma-Informed Care, Gender Responsive Strategies, and Motivational Interviewing, with delivery sites in San Bernardino (headquarters), Pleasanton (Northern California), and the Phoenix Square affordable housing development.

The organization has grown from a single 6-bed shelter to a network of 7 housing locations (4 emergency shelters, 10 permanent supportive housing units, and the Phoenix Square affordable housing project), cumulatively serving over 5,300 individuals since inception. It operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, the BBOP Center (Black and Brown Opportunities for Profit), a first-of-its-kind economic development hub for women of color entrepreneurs with a $500 annual membership model. Services to housing clients are delivered at no charge; revenue is generated through government grants and contracts (HUD, California DHCS, GO-Biz), institutional philanthropy (Bezos Day 1 Families Fund, Blue Shield CA Foundation, James Irvine Foundation, Annenberg, Weingart, California Endowment, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, and others), individual and corporate donations, and the BBOP membership fees. The organization holds a California Department of Health Care Services AOD outpatient license (360071BN) and is nationally recognized by SAMHSA for its evidence-based approach.
