Mission

To eliminate homelessness in Monterey and San Benito Counties by promoting regional partnerships and interagency collaboration for a comprehensive system of housing for our diverse population.

The Big Idea

Lead Me Home Project provides a roadmap for ensuring that all people in the Monterey/San Benito County Region live in decent/safe/affordable housing from which they access services/supports that stabilize their lives. In the five years of executing this plan, LMHP will concentrate on: Increasing regional stakeholder & leadership engagement in homelessness solutions, improving the performance of the homelessness response system & expand service-oriented responses to unsheltered homelessness. Each year of the plan, CHSP will conduct a yearly action plan as well as a review of the previous years, with the intention of presenting these at an annual Lead Me Home Summitt on Homelessness.

If not for this program, I don't know where I would be. This program took all of the stresses of surviving and made me capable of dealing with them. The staff is so helpful and kind. I could not have asked for more than this program provided. I also was diagnosed with cancer, and I am able to get the help I need that I would not be able to get if I was homeless. Again, the staff is beyond what I could have asked for in kindness and assisting the Project Roomkey participants' needs.
