In 2020, Gathering for Women and Community Human Services will partner to open the first-ever shelter for homeless women and families with children on the Monterey Peninsula.
Casa de Noche Buena will be located in Seaside on the corner of Noche Buena and Olympia in a vacant County modular building that will soon be completely rehabilitated for use as a shelter.
