  Family Resources
 

Along with finding a program that fits your needs, it is also important that it be a good fit for your spouse/partner and family. Therefore, we have put together some additional community resources to give you a more in-depth look at our area. A good place to start is the Chamber of Commerce Website: www.salinaschamber.com

Housing
Our residents live all over Monterey County as well as Santa Cruz and San Jose. Choosing housing in the area really depends on your personal preferences: rent or buy, rural or urban, beach or inland. It’s all available within a 45 minute commute. Naturally, all of these variables will affect how much you will be paying per month.

Many rentals can be found at Apartments.com. To buy in the area, check the MLS listings. Don’t worry, if you sign up, Joe won’t sell your e mail address!
