Gateway180 is the largest Residential Emergency Shelter in the State of Missouri, serving women, children, and families experiencing homelessness. Founded in 1977, its mission is to empower adults and families to become independent and permanently housed. The shelter provides a temporary home for 150 women and children daily, along with access to three meals, day services, children's programs, and on-site counseling services.

Additionally, annually, they serve 125 individuals, representing 50 households in their scattered-site, Rapid Rehousing Program. The organization is committed to the principles of "Housing First" and to evidence-based practices in homeless services including trauma-informed care, client-centered care, and critical time intervention.
