Our Story

Our humble beginnings started in 1970 in an abandoned schoolhouse in Malden, Illinois. Staffed with a crew of 3, 1 program, and $35,000, Gateway Services was born. Currently Gateway has 7 programs, approximately 115 staff, 3 office buildings, a mechanic's garage, and 6 residential homes.

In 1978, our first home was rented to provide 24 hour residential supports. Today, we have 6 CILA homes, 1 of which is owned by Gateway Services, and 5 are rental agreements between a landlord and the individuals who live there.

Prior to 1989, transportation was Gateway-specific. Today, BPART consists of Gateway as the lead administrator and 3 partner agencies (St. Margaret’s Hospital, Bureau County Senior Citizens Association, and Putnam County Achievement Services). In FY20, the BPART system logged over 600,000 miles, providing nearly 65,000 rides!

In 2007, our day program expanded from the Princeton location to include an office in Henry to better serve individuals from eastern Bureau, Marshall, and Putnam Counties.
