Opengate today—honoring its founders’ vision.

Opengate now supports about 150 people in its community-based residential and day services. Often residents transition from home, with many aging out of school-aged programs. Some have been at Opengate since its founding. Opengate is committed to providing dignity of life for all and often cares for people with behavior difficulties whom other agencies turn away. The agency has grown to include 13 community-based residences in several Hudson Valley neighborhoods, along with its day habilitation program in lower Westchester County, community habilitation, and supportive employment services.

The people who live at Opengate residences are drivers of their daily routines and are supported in developing independence, taking part in their community, pursuing new experiences, and exercising self-advocacy. They receive care around the clock from Opengate’s dedicated team, who ensure their homes are safe and comfortable—and that they are treated like family.
