“One
morning a gentleman followed me upstairs. I asked him, ‘Have you
had enough? Are you ready?’ He answered,
‘Everybody knows what’s going on up here — that’s
why I came to see you. I’ve had enough and I’m ready.’
Ninety days later he had completed a local drug and alcohol treament
program, started volunteering at the soup kitchen, and within
a short period of time he had a full-time job and saved enough
to get a little place for himself.”

 I-HELP
(Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program) offers single men shelter,
food, and support though the gracious, generous, and continued support
of over 60 Monterey County churches, synagogues, temples, and religious
organizations. I-HELP operates one program in Salinas and one on the Peninsula.
- Shelter Outreach Plus and area churches, synagogues, temples, and
religious organizations cooperate to provide homeless men with hope
and opportunity for a better lifestyle by offering nightly shelter,
a hot meal, and support. Each evening, the I-HELP vans transport the
men from central pick-up points in Salinas and Monterey to a host
church where they spend the night. By day, I-HELP includes job placement
and housing assistance, clothing, support and referrals.
- I-HELP has never missed a night of offering services for the homeless in its 15 years of operation.
