The State of California is horrific in regards to low-income housing availability. Homeless mothers pay the ultimate sacrifice when they lose permanent custody of their children and are systematically barred from meeting the main threshold requirements for reunification. Kim Carter has found a way out. As the founder of the Time for Change Foundation, she innovated a housing continuum that began with emergency shelters and presently builds affordable housing for women who have criminal backgrounds that disqualifies them from renting. Kim’s solution was simple – homeless women need a home where they can heal, regain self-sufficiency and provide for the emotional needs of their children.
