Virg Bernero

Mayor of Lansing

“Lansing has for many years witnessed Crossroads [Gateway's youth shelter program] invaluable service to homeless youth. They provide a wide array of services which include meeting both short-term needs while implementing long-term prevention strategies. Young people who find themselves in desperate circumstances have found not only shelter at Crossroads but hope. Hope that their lives will not end in the streets but by rejoining a society that truly cares for them.”

We need these programs.”
