County Relies on Gateway to Help People with Disabilities Not-For-Profit Amply Funded For Services
Kingston, NY (June 16, 2016) – In April of 2016 Ulster County Comptroller Elliott Auerbach provided an overview of the multi-million dollar relationship that County government has with dozens of area not-for-profit organizations. In his report, Auerbach featured five organizations that over the past three years, have collectively received over $21 million. As a follow-up the Comptroller has released the first spotlight report focused on Gateway Community Industries, Inc.; a provider of multiple services for people with disabilities.
“While our funding comprises 20% or more of Gateway’s annual budget and amounts to several million dollars a year, it’s evident that their numerous contracts help hundreds of County residents,” said Auerbach. “Gateway’s vocational, nutritional and mental health services have played an integral role in the well-being and stability of individuals and families throughout Ulster,” the Comptroller stated.
Gateway leads the top five not-for-profits contracted with the County and received over $6 million since 2014. Their snapshot report defines the organization’s mission; outlines the financial impact and remuneration; describes the numerous programs and services and highlights the number of Ulster County residents being served.
Four other agencies will be featured in the upcoming months with all of the reports being posted on the Comptroller’s website at www.youreyesonulster.com The Gateway Community Industries report can be found here.
