Homelessness in Atlanta has been a pervasive issue with multiple layers as to the causation. Annually, there are an estimated 3,000 individuals experiencing homelessness based on Atlanta’s most recent Point in Time Count.
Since 2005, Gateway Center (GWC) has been committed to providing effective, strategic, and innovative program and services as part of our collective impact model.
GWC is a proven leader and has positioned ourselves to be adaptable to respond to the needs of the homeless community. Gateway Center programs are designed to address the underlying barriers that prevent individuals and families from transitioning out of homelessness, such as unemployment, behavioral health, housing affordability, and/or medical conditions.
We provide a trauma informed and a client-centered environment where individuals can receive the tools they need to end their homelessness and achieve self-sufficiency. To ensure the alignment of services, Gateway Center has focused our efforts into our Five Keys to Success (1) Housing Placement and Stability,(2) Health and Wellness,(3) Family and Community Engagement,(4) Job Skills Training and Placement, and (5) Adult & Financial Literacy
