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.

”I brag about Interim wherever I go & I am so proud to be a part of it. I have worked in hospitals on mental health units since the early 90’s and I have never encountered a staff that values & respects the client’s like I have at Interim.
A Nurse
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.”
Work With Purpose
At Interim, we are building a future where people with mental illness can live, work, learn, and participate fully in the community. The diversity of our staff and clients enriches Interim’s quality of services as we reinvigorate the mind, spirit, and physical health of our clients. We believe that through compassion and community, we can unleash one’s true potential. Ready to unleash yours? Apply today!
