2012 was a milestone year for the Monterey Foundation with the purchase of the Foundation’s first outreach home. The goal of the home is to be able to provide temporary housing to families who may find themselves without adequate housing, or the financial means meet their own need. Since that time the Monterey Foundation has come alongside several different families who have been able to call it “home” for a period of time during their transition to more permanent housing. This ‘Second Chance’ housing is an intentional effort to help move families from being at-risk for poverty or homelessness into a better condition.
Additional Properties
Since that first house, the Foundation has acquired additional residential properties, either through donations or by purchasing the home. This allowed us to expand and extend this blessing of low-cost housing to more families. We’ve made upgrades and renovations to keep these properties suitable for family housing. We have used them as temporary housing for families with medical needs, for homeless families, and even as short term housing for evangelists & missionaries. This is an ongoing effort that seeks to transition families who find themselves in difficult times by providing stability and affordable housing.
Rachel's Story
This is a video about Rachel S. and her family. Her story began at Family Promise, one of our collaborating partners. But it continues at the Monterey Foundation in one of our residential properties. She and her four children have found a home there, and are working to improve their outlook and future. This video by a local news crew was shot at their new home supplied by The Monterey Foundation.
The Monterey Foundation was a bright light of burning grace to us. They have given us a Christ-like example to follow, one we will not waste. To us, they were Jesus – meeting us right where we were and taking us in with open arms. Thank you Monterey Foundation for living out Christ in a broken world. Blessings and peace to you all!
