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 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.

Interim clients and other community members attended Interim’s annual holiday lunch on Thanksgiving Day. Volunteers helped transport and serve 250 meals and provided musical entertainment during the November 24th lunch. Interim returned to in-person meals this year.
For the past two years, due to the pandemic, meals were served in to-go boxes. Idalia Matthews, SEES Program Director, said “people were really excited to return to in-person lunches. They look forward to them every year.”
Interim would like to thank everyone who volunteered to help transport and serve food. We couldn’t do this without your assistance!
@CoastalRootsHospitality has partnered with Interim to prepare holiday meals for the past three years! @MarkonCooperativeInc. also donated fresh produce for the meal, and @GraniteConstruction generously donated $2,000 to support expenses! A special thanks to @EscapeRoom831 for helping us store prepared food before the dinner! Between our volunteers, and the support of our local business community, we are able to provide truly memorable holiday meals to our clients.
