For More Information About Our Services:

Welcome to Interim, Inc.

Interim, Inc. is the only agency in Monterey County that provides mental health treatment, affordable housing, residential treatment, social support, homeless outreach and support, and supported education and employment services for adults who have serious mental illnesses.

Our mission is to provide services and affordable housing supporting members of our community with mental illness in building productive and satisfying lives.

Housing, Healing, Hope:
The Path to Mental Health

Interim was founded in 1975 by mental health professionals, community members, and client families who saw a need for community-based alternatives to institutional care for people with psychiatric disabilities.

The agency’s services provide a bridge from institutionalization or homelessness to independent living.  With a strong continuum of supportive services and housing, those who are homeless are more likely to remain successfully housed once they have been moved off the street, and those at-risk of homelessness are less likely to fall into homelessness. The incidence of, and need for, costly inpatient psychiatric hospital care is greatly reduced.

Interim is a member of the California Association of Social Rehabilitation Agencies (CASRA) and the California Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies (CCCBHA).

Our programs use evidence-based practices including Trauma Informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Wellness Recovery Action Plans (WRAP), Seeking Safety, Harm Reduction, and peer support.

Staff That Values & Respects Clients
