Gateway's Emergency Shelter programs and supportive services provide pathways toward healing and hope for individuals and families impacted by domestic violence. We practice a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, individualized approach to care because healing and hope look different for each client. Our programs include a 24/7 Crisis Hotline, Emergency and Extended Stay Shelter, Counseling, Housing Navigation and Court Advocacy.
Each year, we respond to more than 4,000 calls to our 24/7 crisis line, provide 8000 nights of safe shelter and provide compassionate services to more than 2,000 adults and children. Everyone is welcome here. We serve adults and children of all races, ethnicities, socioeconomic status, gender and sexual orientation, including non-binary, and LGBTQ+ people. We are one of the few shelters in the area that accepts pets.
Testimonials
Today I feel grateful and proud because I look back and no longer see myself as that woman who was adrift, sad with negative thoughts. Now I see myself with great goals to meet in the short, medium and long term. I will be eternally grateful to the Gateway organization and to each of the people who supported us unconditionally in our bad times. I have so much enjoyed the past year or so of my life with my children and with myself. I feel moments of true happiness again after going through a long spell of feeling little or nothing. Gateway has had a large hand in reviving my soul. I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm determined to lead a peaceful life. I'm thankful for my counselors, and the caring souls who held my hand and heart in the shelter in the early days. - Survivor
