Gateway Family

Gateway Family is a more appropriate space for families experiencing homelessness.

What is Gateway Family? 

Gateway Family serves about 65 families at a one time, providing a safe place to stay and connect to school and early childhood services for around 120 children at any given time.

Families typically stay, on average, 90 days and work with onsite case managers toward housing and employment. 

The City contracts with Heading Home, which operates Family Gateway. 

Weekly collaborative consultations are held between the City, provider agencies, specialty courts, and the APS Title l McKinley-Vento Program. These crucial consultations are held to match families to the housing option that best fits their needs.
