What Gateway Longview does

Gateway Longview is a 501(c)(3) non-profit human services organization founded in 1890 and headquartered in Williamsville, New York, with additional sites in Buffalo. It provides a continuum of trauma-informed care for children and families across Western New York, operating 18+ programs that include outpatient behavioral health clinics (with psychiatric services, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and individual/group/family counseling for youth ages 3-21), Children and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS), foster care, kinship care and adoption services, a K-12 special education school (Lynde School), a therapeutic preschool, residential treatment facilities with seven care units for youth ages 13-18, supervised independent living for youth aging out of foster care, and Children's Health Home care coordination for Medicaid-enrolled children.

The organization delivers services through evidence-based clinical frameworks including the Incredible Years curriculum, Casey Life Skills assessment, and trauma-informed care training protocols for all staff. Service delivery occurs across four primary sites — the Williamsville campus at 6350 Main Street, the Downtown Buffalo clinic at 10 Symphony Circle, the Northtowns behavioral health clinic, and the Center for Youth Development at 296 Monroe Street — supported by a third-party client portal (Thera-Link) for telehealth scheduling and document retrieval.

Gateway Longview operates under a hybrid referral-and-contract revenue model. Most services are funded through Erie County Department of Social Services contracts, Medicaid reimbursements (via CHHUNY and Oishei Health Kids for Health Home services), school district agreements for Lynde School and Therapeutic Preschool, and charitable donations managed by the Gateway Longview Foundation (established 1998). In 2020 the organization became a subsidiary of New View Alliance, and in 2024 completed a merger with New Directions Youth and Family Services, forming a combined entity with $69 million in revenue serving nearly 10,000 children annually. Gateway Longview itself maintains a 450+ employee workforce and serves over 5,000 children and families per year.
