Our Mission
TTA Empire Inc. is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering veterans, service members, and their families by addressing the challenges that can impact stability, health, opportunity, and long-term success.
Our mission is to provide meaningful support through veteran housing initiatives, mental health and wellness programming, career and workforce development, educational scholarships, mentorship, peer engagement, financial and community resource navigation, and connections to essential services.
We are committed to meeting veterans where they are and helping them move forward with dignity, purpose, and opportunity. Through strategic partnerships with government agencies, businesses, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, community leaders, and fellow nonprofits, we work to expand access to resources and create stronger systems of support for the military-connected community.
Beyond providing immediate assistance, TTA Empire Inc. is focused on creating lasting impact. We seek to reduce barriers, strengthen self-sufficiency, promote economic mobility, support successful transitions into civilian life, and help veterans and their families build stable and fulfilling futures.
Our work is guided by a belief that those who served our country deserve more than recognition—they deserve access to the resources, opportunities, advocacy, and support necessary to thrive.
Veterans Serving Veterans. Building stability. Creating opportunity. Strengthening communities.
Our Founder
Timothy Awojobi, Founder & CEO
Timothy Awojobi is a United States Air Force veteran, nonprofit executive, community advocate, and higher education leader whose commitment to service extends far beyond his military career.
From 2016 to 2022, Timothy served honorably in the U.S. Air Force, including supporting Operation Allies Refuge and Operation Allies Welcome at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. His military experience strengthened his commitment to leadership, service, humanitarian support, and ensuring that individuals and families have access to the resources they need during times of transition.
Following his military service, Timothy witnessed firsthand the challenges many veterans face as they navigate civilian life—from housing instability and mental health concerns to employment, education, financial security, and access to trusted support systems. Rather than simply recognizing those challenges, he decided to build an organization designed to address them.
In 2023, Timothy founded TTA Empire Inc., a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to empower veterans, service members, and their families through housing initiatives, mental health and wellness programming, career development, scholarships, mentorship, peer engagement, community outreach, and access to critical resources. Under Timothy’s leadership, TTA Empire Inc. has continued to expand its reach through partnerships with government leaders, businesses, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, community stakeholders, and fellow veteran-serving organizations. His vision is to position TTA Empire Inc. not simply as a source of assistance, but as a trusted organization capable of creating long-term pathways toward stability, opportunity, independence, and success.
Timothy’s commitment to service also extends into higher education and public advocacy. He holds a bachelor's degree in communications and public relations and a master of public administration and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in higher education leadership, management, and policy. His academic research focuses on institutional leadership, accountability, and support systems for student veterans and veterans experiencing mental health challenges.
His leadership philosophy is rooted in a simple belief: serving veterans requires more than gratitude; it requires action, advocacy, opportunity, and a willingness to stand beside them long after their military service ends.
For Timothy, TTA Empire Inc. represents the continuation of his own commitment to service.
“My service did not end when I took off the uniform. It simply became a new mission, serving those who served.”

Our Story
From Service to Legacy
The Story Behind TTA Empire Inc.
TTA Empire Inc. was founded on the belief that service does not end when military service concludes. For Mr. Timothy Awojobi, service became the foundation for a broader commitment to leadership, advocacy, and community impact.

Following his time in the United States Air Force, he developed a deeper understanding of the challenges many veterans and military families may face as they transition into civilian life, including barriers related to housing, mental health, employment, education, financial stability, and access to dependable support systems.
Those experiences, combined with his work in public service, higher education, nonprofit leadership, and veteran advocacy, shaped a larger vision: to create an organization that would not simply respond to immediate needs but help build long-term pathways toward stability, opportunity, independence, and success. TTA Empire Inc. was created to bring together resources, partnerships, advocacy, and community support under one mission focused on strengthening the lives of veterans and their families.
The name TTA Empire reflects both the personal origin of the organization and the legacy it seeks to build. TTA is derived from Mr. Awojobi’s name and represents the personal responsibility, leadership, and commitment behind the mission. It symbolizes the idea that meaningful change can begin with one individual choosing to serve and then grow into something capable of positively affecting entire communities. The word "empire" represents the long-term vision of building something that endures.
Within TTA Empire Inc., an empire is not defined by power, status, or recognition. It is defined by impact, sustainability, and the ability to create opportunities that extend beyond one person or one generation. It represents a growing network of veterans, families, volunteers, professionals, community leaders, institutions, businesses, and supporters working together toward a shared purpose.
Through TTA Empire Inc., Mr. Awojobi seeks to transform lived experience into purposeful action. The organization advances that vision through veteran housing initiatives, mental health and wellness support, career and workforce development, scholarships, mentorship, peer engagement, advocacy, community outreach, and strategic partnerships designed to connect veterans and their families with meaningful opportunities and essential resources. At its core, TTA Empire Inc. is about more than providing services. It is about helping individuals regain stability, discover new possibilities, and move forward with confidence and purpose. It is about building bridges between veterans and the institutions, organizations, and communities positioned to support their success. Most importantly, it is about creating an organization capable of producing measurable and lasting impact.
The vision for TTA Empire extends far beyond the present. Mr. Awojobi seeks to build an institution whose legacy will be reflected in the veterans who secure stable housing, the families who find renewed stability, the individuals who pursue education and meaningful careers, the young people who receive mentorship, and the communities strengthened through service.
Ultimately, TTA Empire Inc. represents the transformation of experience into purpose, purpose into action, and action into legacy. What began with one veteran’s commitment to continue serving is developing into a broader movement centered on opportunity, dignity, partnership, and lasting community impact.
TTA represents where the journey began. Empire represents what that commitment is intended to become: a lasting legacy of service that continues to strengthen lives for generations to come.
