Interim, Inc. is the only agency in Monterey County that provides 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.
We believe that housing, healing, and hope are a 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.
Over forty years later, we are the only agency in Monterey County that provides affordable housing, residential treatment, social support, and supported education and employment services for adults with psychiatric disabilities.
Interim believes that people with psychiatric disabilities do recover. Our work is community driven and we actively involve clients, family members, and staff in decision making in the delivery of all our services. Together we are creating a world in which people with mental illness can live, work, learn, and participate fully in the community.

I am the Outreach Coordinator for the MCHOME Program. My job essentially is to supervise a team of Outreach Counselor IIs throughout Monterey County and assist these Counselor IIs in connecting homeless individuals to local services and providers, whether with Interim Inc. or other service providers. A lot of what I do is just walking alongside clients. I can’t run the race for them, but I can help them along in the race and help them determine what kind of steps to take. I think the best part about my job is the diverse amount of people I work with. I get to work with various Interim staff, as well as many community members and organizations. I also get the opportunity to understand our clients, identify with their story, and help them progress forward.”

#NationalSuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth
5 No-Nonsense Tips to Help Someone in Crisis
1. Ask a person directly if they’re thinking about suicide.
2. Listen to their answers and be sure to let them know that you care deeply about what they have to say.
3. Do a safety check, removing anything that could be used to harm themselves, such as alcohol, drugs, medications, weapons, and even access to a car.
4. Don’t keep this a secret--Let them know you’ll help come up with a plan that involves telling a professional who can utilize the many services and resources available to help.
5. Ensure they seek professional help from a doctor, counselor, psychologist or social worker.
If you or someone you know is in an emergency, call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or call 911 immediately.
