County of Monterey Activates Inclement Weather Response for Homeless Residents in Certain County Areas

 

The County of Monterey has activated its Inclement Weather Response for the time period of Thursday, February 1, 2024 to Monday, February 5, 2024. This activation is for southern and northern Monterey County and the area surrounding Salinas. Inclement weather conditions for the coastal/peninsula region are being monitored.

 

Homeless residents living in the activated regions of the County may contact one of the participating Inclement Weather partner agencies listed on the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers website https://chsp.org/iwresponse/ for assistance with securing shelter. Motel vouchers for homeless residents may be issued during this period as a last-resort emergency shelter tool when all other shelter options have been exhausted.

 

A complete list of shelters is attached, however, a reminder that the coastal/peninsula region is not yet activated in the Inclement Weather Response. Homeless residents in that area are still encouraged to seek shelter if they are in need.

 

In partnership with the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers, the Community Action Partnership has compiled a Homeless Resource Guide to help connect unsheltered residents to services and resources. The guide is available on the Coalition’s website and can be accessed by clicking the link below.
