Overview
Mission
Helping Hands & Gateway House provides temporary housing for women seeking substance abuse treatment and extended transitional or re-entry housing for women who have completed a recovery program.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025 the Gateway House served 9 women. We can house 4 to 5 women at the most at one time. The women can stay as long as needed in this re-entry phase of rehabilitation from substance use disorder. Some are court ordered to stay for a year, some stay six months, some less. In 2025, we had one resident for most of the year, one for six months, one for only 60 days. This doesn't allow us to minister to as many women as if we only allowed them to stay for a specific period of time. The women attend recovery groups, church services, are transported to probation or parole requirements, receive mental health evaluations and services, medical needs are met, they are taken to the Department of Human Services to see about SNAP and other benefits for which they may qualify. Upon obtaining employment the ladies are transported to and from work as needed. We celebrate with them as they meet goals and become ready to live independently again in their own apartment or home setting. Nine women lived with us in 2025.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
