Gateway Center - Strategic Plan 2019 - 2021 - 5

STRATEGIC
PLAN GOALS
Strengthening
Our Programs
During our strategic planning
process, it became clear
that GWC had a history of
effectively meeting the needs
of individuals experiencing
homelessness each year. At
the same time, GWC team
members determined that an
opportunity existed to expand
and refine current programming to address the holistic
needs of clients.
More specifically, partners and
clients alike noted that GWC
could play an even greater role in preparing and connecting clients with employment opportunities.
Further, the landscape analysis revealed an increasing need for GWC to be equipped to provide
case management services, particularly in terms of coordinating medical services.

Defining and Living Our Brand
Although the strategic planning process revealed that Gateway Center is well known in Metro
Atlanta, very few of GWC's stakeholders could describe GWC's mission or our program delivery
model. Partners expressed confusion about GWC's intake requirements and processes. Additionally,
stakeholders indicated that GWC had the potential to act as a catalyst in the community through
greater involvement and leadership within the broader community.
