The Big Idea

Due to COVID-19, high inflation, unexpected medical bills and many other factors, many senior citizens on the Monterey Peninsula are facing eviction. When faced with looking for new housing, these people are looking at having no references, poor credit, eviction in their history and many other negative factors which make it difficult to find new housing (assuming they can even afford the rent). A one bedroom apartment in Salinas often runs in the range of $2,000/month. Finding one in Monterey, Pacific Grove and neighboring areas is just astronomical. We screen people to find out what they can afford for rent out of their Social Security and then provide first and last month's rent and provide a reference.

“We discovered Family inHome Caregiving by way of CHOMP discharge planning nurses and the Alliance on Aging. I really do not know how I would have managed without Richard and his care staff. Richard is always available and takes time to listen. He cares that my husband is making progress and that I am OK too. We have found that having someone dependable, skilled and easily available has been extremely helpful to the both of us, and more comforting than we can say.”
