Mission

Interim's mission is to provide services and affordable housing supporting members of our community with mental illness in building productive and satisfying lives.

The Big Idea

Interim will be building a new 24-unit permanent supportive housing development in Marina, called Marina Kai Apartments, to provide housing for very low-income individuals living with mental illness who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Monterey County faces a critical shortage of supportive housing for individuals living with severe mental health conditions. Most are very low-income and receiving public assistance, as well as at-risk of homelessness or are homeless. Moreover, these individuals are also burdened with the high cost of living, making it difficult to obtain housing stability. With an overwhelming demand, evidenced by over 500 people on our waiting list and minimal turnover in our existing permanent units, the need for this project is urgent.

Donations from the community will help support the project’s pre-development and new construction costs. Help us provide stable, quality, and permanent supportive living environments for those who need it most!

Staff are really supportive and I feel like I can talk to the counselors about anything. I also really enjoy the classes that they have. They are welcoming and helpful. I feel like I have built a sense of community and belonging here. When I was homeless, I didn't have anyone to talk to and it was really hard. Now I feel like I have everything I need. I love living here.
