Gateway Demonstration Assistance Corporation

Gateway housing's goal is nothing less than to initiate a fundamental shift away from New York's current "one-size-fits-all" emergency homeless response. With success, Gateway housing's transformation of the shelter system will have national implications. Gateway's comprehensive, anti-poverty approach will: improve a shelter system badly in need of repair; create new permanent affordable housing units; strengthen neighborhoods with new on-site community-based supports; establish an ongoing capital development pipeline with standardized financing terms; develop and test a consistent, replicable service program that can ultimately be adopted system wide.
