For decades, Center for Transforming Lives has worked side by side with women and children to help them successfully fight poverty and become self-sufficient through a proven, two-generation approach. Now, the anti-poverty agency is expanding to meet increased need in our community by relocating to a larger facility.

The new headquarters, Riverside Campus, will dramatically increase its capacity to provide vital services for families in need, including:

  • Stable housing
  • Better-paying jobs
  • Early childhood education
  • Positive mental health outcomes
  • Higher educational achievement
  • Economic mobility services
  • And more

It will also improve community access, located in a historically underserved area in southeast Fort Worth, where the poverty rate for single mothers with children under age 6 is 71%.

Scheduled to open in late 2024, the new 14-acre campus will allow these vital programs to grow — and more Tarrant County families to thrive. Center for Transforming Lives is not just building a new campus, it is building new paths to escape poverty.
