The feedback that we received from teachers, police, social workers, hospital staff and those in the hospitality industry, just to name a few, highlighted what was evident in recent research: that it is almost impossible to find decent housing in Rutherford and McDowell counites that is affordable. Gateway Wellness Foundation joined forces with the local cities, towns, counties, utility providers, and partnered with Dogwood Heath Trust to form Gateway Housing, and we now have over 70 houses in the pipeline in Rutherford and McDowell counties.
