Gateway battered women's shelter residential program provides
confidential emergency housing to women and their children who are
victims of domestic violence. Gateway Shelters
Gateway operates two emergency shelter facilities. The short-term
facility in Aurora has 24 beds; our other (long-term) facility in
southern Arapahoe county has a 14-bed capacity.
Residents at the short-term shelter are asked to commit to a minimum
stay of three days and can stay up to a maximum of thirty days. Each
woman arriving at the shelter will have an intake and orientation
sessions. Each woman is assigned a primary caseworker who meets with
her on an ongoing basis throughout her stay, and assists her with goal
setting, safety planning, advocacy, resource development and offers
much needed emotional support. |

As a Gateway client, my favorite memory was my first session at Gateway
- the feeling of total acceptance and help. Now as a volunteer, my
favorite memories have been the moments when I've been speaking with
the women at the transition house - loved every minute of it!
