“Many of the women will come to the shelter either from the hospital or by a police escort. With our help, they begin to see that they have the right to be safe and that their children deserve to live in a violence-free environment.

We help our clients see that they have the ability to gain control of their lives and move forward.

It is our goal to provide a safe structure and valuable resources for our clients, with the hope that they will seize the opportunity and provide safety and security for themselves and their children.”

~ Director,
Salinas Shelter

“Homeward Bound has seen many successes. When you combine a dedicated staff and a supportive community with women who want a better life for themselves and their families, anything is possible!”

		FAMILY EMERGENCY SHELTERS
		Shelter Outreach Plus operates two 30-60-day emergency shelters in Salinas and Seaside. The shelters offer women and children safety and assistance as they begin the rehabilitative process necessary to break the cycle of abuse or homelessness. A 24-bed facility in Salinas and a 16-bed home in Seaside provide 24-hour, year-round hope. A woman entering shelter finds a clean room for herself and her children with ongoing support such as food, clothing, and sundries. Counseling services help her to obtain a job and housing gives her the opportunity to get off the street and to begin the process of rehabilitation necessary to become self-sufficient.
