Gateways is committed to serving all people, regardless of means, with safe, innovative, and comprehensive services and are dedicated to providing safety net services to Los Angeles’ most vulnerable population, working together to support individuals on their path to developing essential everyday living skills.

Continuum of Care

Our Homeless Services at Gateways provides an integrated, comprehensive continuum of non-traditional services addressing the needs of mentally ill adults who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless.

Meeting Clients Where They Are

We strive to meet clients where they are on their journey to healing and are committed to strengthening resilience both within individuals and across the communities we serve. We understand that there are many aspects of life that influence a person’s mental wellness and overall well-being, and comprehensive care lies at the heart of our approach to mental & behavioral health services.

Our Approach to Care

  • Self-referral

Services:

Upon referral, our homeless services offer:

  • Needs assessments
  • Individual and group counseling
  • Case management
  • Psychiatric evaluation and medication support
  • Linkage to housing, health, vocational, and other community resources
  • Housing at our apartment building in the heart of Los Angeles
