ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION
Shelter Outreach Plus plays a significant role in Monterey
County’s Continuum of Care for the homeless and victims of
domestic violence through its programs of outreach, emergency shelter,
and
transitional housing. For 30 years, our agency has shown remarkable success in helping people move forward with their lives in a positive and
safe manner.
Our agency serves men, women and children through several distinct programs. Last year, we
served 1,785 adults, 296 children and made 7,483 referrals through the Family Helpline.
We collaborate
with several local agencies to provide comprehensive services to
homeless individuals and families as well as families dealing with
domestic violence. We work with local organizations, coalitions,
leaders, and volunteers to educate and inform the general public
and help shape
policies affecting victims of domestic violence and those experiencing
homelessness.
Shelter Outreach Plus’ programs provide a single-point
of entry for people in crisis into a total continuum of care where
education, recovery, and employment are viewed as key steps to
a safe and self-sufficient
life. It is through Shelter Outreach Plus that individuals
and families can find safe haven and resolve and begin their rehabilitative
process in order to transform their life of homelessness into a life
of peace and independence.
