Rooted in a community-wide needs assessment conducted in the early 1980s, Gateway was established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit to address the lack of day services and housing for adults with serious mental illness. Inspired by Fountain House in New York City, the program was formally launched in 1984 with a focus on dignity, inclusion, and recovery through purposeful daily activities. The Clubhouse Model operates on a "Work-Ordered Day," where members collaborate with staff on tasks such as preparing meals, managing the in-house bank, producing newsletters, and maintaining the facility. This structure fosters responsibility, skill development, and a sense of belonging. Gateway has trained over 2,300 professionals from 43 U.S. states and 18 countries since becoming a certified training base in 1988, underscoring its national leadership in psychiatric rehabilitation.

Located at 423 Croft Street in Greenville, SC, Gateway is situated within the city’s central corridor, serving as a vital community resource.
