Did you know that 43% of Green Bay residents are living paycheck to paycheck and are at high risk of losing their housing?

The Gateway Collective, a new charitable organization is set up to respond to these challenges by providing affordable and supportive housing for our workforce.

The Gateway Collective is on the verge of opening our first site, City Center Lofts in downtown Green Bay. City Center Lofts features 72 high quality units with modern and unique amenities for all income levels.

What makes our model unique?

We help with residents' financial success:
- Affordability to a wider income group in the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) population without the need for government funding.
- Resident Investment Program - We put 10% of what we earn in rent from a tenant aside to empower their future goals such as becoming a home owner.
- Pay it Forward Program - Low interest loan geared toward helping working individuals stay housed.
We help residents connect and find resources in the community that lead to upward mobility:
- Community Resource Advocate: A full time Gateway Collective staff member who will lead innovative programming such as job training courses, financial literacy counseling, belonging activities and more.
- The Joseph Project: The Joseph Project is a faith-based program which equips and empowers community members toward greater vocational opportunities. Participants experience a 4-day transformational life skills training program and then are offered a chance to interview with a company willing to hire at a living wage.
- Community Partnership Building: The Gateway Collective assembles partners to meet tenants where they are on their journey. These partnerships can lead to greater employment skills, childcare solutions, enhancing wellbeing, etc.
We build models that are impactful and scalable:
- Housing Futures Initiative: The Gateway Collective will lead a research model to lay the foundation for the continuous innovation of affordable housing. We will work with others in our community and share best practices locally and beyond.

As we open our first project, will you come alongside a household to provide life changing support? A gift of any amount will be impactful. How impactful?
