Effective & Affordable

Too often, individuals who are struggling with these diseases are warehoused in institutions, become homeless, or fall into a cycle of incarceration. Very few sources of effective, affordable treatment are available in Virginia to these, our family, friends and neighbors.

Who We Are

The vision of Gateway Homes is to make recovery a reality for individuals with mental illness.

Gateway Homes mission is to provide a transitional residential treatment program for individuals with mental illness who are striving for independence.

Gateway Homes is a non-profit organization that provides mental health services in a residential setting, located in Virginia on about 36 acres in Chesterfield County. Gateway was founded in 1983 by a group of concerned families and health practitioners whose lives were touched by severe mental illness. Our founders were personally motivated to create a new standard for helping their loved ones and friends with serious mental illness to achieve a better quality of life through expert, compassionate mental health supportive services.

Gateway’s main campus is located in Chesterfield County, just south of Richmond, Virginia, and provides a residential setting with supportive services specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness.  We have five other regional locations.  

How To Help

There are many ways to assist Gateway Homes and the residents we serve – from making a contribution, to collecting and donating goods, to volunteering your time.

Gateway Homes relies on generous contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, and religious institutions to provide the many psychiatric, physical, social, and vocational services needed for the well-being of each of our residents living with a serious mental illness.

Gateway Homes sincerely appreciates of the assistance of the many groups and organizations that donate goods and services. This type of giving enhances our effort to demonstrate and provide an environment that is caring and supportive.

Service projects and donations of goods to benefit our residents offer special meaning to those in need. For more information about the ways you or your organization can assist, please contact Yvonne Monstello at 804-536-0262 or email at ymonstello@gatewayhomes.org.
