Program areas at 247 Gateway LLC
The Evolution Center was launched on December 6, 2017, with funding provided by Partners from Home, to address the needs of Atlanta's chronically homeless in need of a low barrier shelter option. Evolution Center provides emotional and physical support for men who are experiencing homelessness. Gateway Center's Evolution Center is a low barrier shelter program designed to provide rapid access to safe shelter that is voluntary 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The goal of this program is providing shelter beds to those individuals who need it most (not limited to) with priority on those individuals that are most acute and have the highest needs.
The Diversion & Prevention program seeks to prevent homelessness by helping identify immediate alternate housing arrangements and providing linkages to services/financial assistance that assists with returning to permanent housing. Prevention provides tenant-landlord mediation, housing navigation, and financial assistance for utilities, deposits, and rent to assist individuals in maintaining their stable housing.
Gateway Center has been actively involved in the development of the program implementation and staffing of two recent initiatives in Atlanta that used hotels as shelter. Our staff handles recruitment, onboarding, and training of personnel to work in the hotel shelters. Gateway Center provided staffing oversight for the residential advisors, residential advisor leads, and quality assurance officers at the Non-Congregate and Isolation Hotels.
