Newkirk Certified Apartments

Newkirk
The Gateway Certified Apartment Program is a transitional apartment program. It provides opportunity for 27 mentally ill adults to live in a semi-independent setting while developing skills to fulfill their ultimate goal of independent living.  This program is certified by the State Office of Mental Health.  There is professional supervision from counseling staff at least two times weekly or as needed. 

 

The program includes a 5 unit (2 bedroom) complex in Kingston and eight 1-3 bedroom  scattered units in the city of Kingston. The 5 unit complex offers on-site staff 20-24 hours a day.  Residents in the scattered sites receive visits depending on individual support needs (2-5 times a week).  Residents are encouraged to assume as much responsibility for themselves as possible, as a further step toward independent living.

The Certified Apartment Program is a transitional residence with a 3 year average length of stay.
One of our sites is: A HUD section 202 Apartment Demonstration Program for the Homeless Mentally Disabled
