Gateway Homeless Services View Charity Profile

Gateway Homeless Services is the largest 24-hour emergency shelter for single women and families in the state of Missouri. The shelter provides 110 beds and three home-cooked meals a day to residents. In addition, more than 100 lunches are distributed each day to homeless and low-income people.

Gateway serves homeless women and children and at-risk families with programs such as:

A 24-hour family emergency shelter for single women and families. Gateway places more than 250 people in transitional or permanent housing each year.
Adult educational and support programs that empower homeless people to take responsibility for moving into transitional or permanent housing.
Services designed specifically for children and youth including tutoring, childcare, computer literacy and programs sponsored by the St. Louis Science Center and St. Louis Public Schools.
A food distribution effort to shelter residents, former residents who are in permanent housing, senior citizens and working poor individuals.
An annual collection of personal hygiene items and school supplies for homeless and at-risk children.

Additionally, Gateway's efforts support overall planning to end Homelessness within the St. Louis Region by focusing on helping families in crisis keep the housing that they already have, moving families out of emergency shelters and into permanent housing as quickly as possible, understanding families needs and linking them to targeted services, and collecting and sharing data to improve program management and planning.
Vision: Gateway Homeless Services envisions safe and nurturing homes for all.

Mission: Gateway Homeless Services provides safe, nurturing emergency shelter services that support homeless individuals and empower them to take the personal steps necessary to move into transitional and independent housing.
