Selected as a “model program” for domestic violence transitional housing, Gateway Domestic Violence Center gave tips to more than 120 other groups looking to develop their own. Gateway was selected as one of three programs by the National Network to End Domestic Violence for a webinar last month. “What the (National Network to End Domestic Violence) was dealing with was that a lot of programs in other communities were having difficulty even beginning to think about how to raise money and develop transitional housing programs,” Gateway’s executive director Jessica Butler said.
