Led by a passionate and bright team, DFC is exceptionally innovative in how they tackle the homeless crisis in San Diego. Led by Founder and CEO, Teresa Smith, DFC has adopted a model of both for profit activities and traditional grants and fundraising efforts to offer their homeless/affected clients an array of programs to move them along a path of stability and self sufficiency. Operate very surgically and smart. The team is passionate and smart, and the results speak for themselves.
Dreams for Change does an extraordinary job in assisting its clients on their pathways to self sufficiency. The organization has a sophisticated model of supporting temporarily homeless and displaced individuals and families with financial training and free tax preparation services, work experience opportunities, and safe shelter for those who are temporarily forced to live in their automobiles. The organization is led by a dynamic and innovative program team, including an extraordinarily capable executive director. I am proud to serve as a volunteer board member.
