Major Activities

Activity 2

Prevention-the prevention program is comprised of the day room, at risk gallery and st. Clare's corner. The day room is a day shelter designed to be a gathering place where homeless, marginalized, and others who are our guests can socialize. They may also take care of basic hygiene needs (shower & laundry), be treated at our weekly health clinic, and access other services that are geared towards helping them live with greater dignity (mail, phone, clothing, activities and volunteering). Our at risk gallery offers studio space and a gallery to display paintings, mosaics and other works of art offered by guests of dorothy's place and other partners. We offer art activities as therapy and creative stimulation for our homeless guests. St. Clare's corner is an extension pantry of the food bank for monterey county, offering supplemental food for more than 168 farm worker families during the months of october through may, as well as clothing and household items.

Activity 3

Women alive - the primary objective of the women alive program is to create a safe, non-judgmental, nurturing space for women beginning with an emergency overnight shelter. Currently, women alive is the only no-questions-asked emergency walk-in shelter for street women in monterey county. We served 192 women in 2012 (unduplicated) with a dinner meal and overnight shelter, and another 10-15 women nightly that eat dinner, shower and do laundry, but don't stay overnight. Our full-time advocate assisted 26 women with reliable transportation, 15 obtained healthcare for themselves or someone in their family, 85 received emergency transportation, 223 rides were provided to critical appointments and 556 information and referral calls were made.
