Glendale Outpatient and Residential Services Expansion

Co-locating residential and outpatient services allows eligible clients to move seamlessly between levels of care, simplifies workflows for clinicians, and maintains continuity of care within a single, supportive environment.

Partnering With the City of Glendale to Address Homelessness
Gateways is partnering with the City of Glendale Housing Division to offer a pilot program that helps unhoused individuals in Glendale with mental illness transition into long-term treatment and housing solutions. Clients in this pilot will be integrated into Gateways’ comprehensive continuum of care at existing locations to receive case management, benefits assistance, daily living skills training, employment services, wellness workshops, treatment for co-occurring substance use disorders, community reintegration, and housing navigation.
Currently, Gateways is dedicating five residential care treatment opportunities for this program in existing sites and expects to support 25 additional Glendale households through Intensive Mental Health Case Management.
