About

About Community Human Services Genesis House

Genesis House is the residential drug treatment program of Community Human Services (CHS), a Monterey County non-profit founded to provide mental health, substance use, and homeless services to lower-income individuals and families. The Genesis House site sits at 1152 Sonoma Avenue in Seaside, California — an address confirmed independently by both SAMHSA and Google’s directory listing.

CHS describes itself as a 501(c)(3) Joint Powers Authority serving Monterey County for more than two decades. Within CHS’s substance use service line, Genesis House provides residential drug treatment that connects directly to the agency’s other recovery resources: the Off Main Clinic for medication-assisted treatment, Elm House as a men’s sober living environment, and Sonoma House as a women’s sober living environment. The continuum means clients leaving Genesis House have direct pathways into longer-term recovery housing and MAT support without changing agencies.
