Center for Transforming Lives partners with single mothers and their children so they can thrive. Founded in 1907, Center for Transforming Lives is one of Tarrant County’s biggest family safety nets, working to disrupt cycles of poverty and homelessness among the most vulnerable in our community. The non-profit meets the needs of 3,000 women and children annually, through a comprehensive and evidence-based, two-generation and trauma-informed model. Thanks to housing support, early childhood education, economic mobility services and counseling services that work across generations, parents and children establish security and well-being as a family. Led by CEO Carol Klocek since 2009, the $20 million non-profit opened its new Riverside Campus headquarters in May.
Center for Transforming Lives is the only homeless services provider in Tarrant County and one of seven early childhood education centers to achieve National Accreditation, recognized for the highest standards of care in the nation.
