Aurora / Arapahoe Battered Womens Shelter Inc., operating as Gateway Domestic Violence Services Division, is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization registered in SAM.gov since 2009, specializing in providing critical support services to domestic violence victims in the Aurora, Arapahoe, and Adams County areas of Colorado. As a domestic shelter and non-profit organization, the entity focuses on delivering comprehensive assistance to victims of domestic violence, their children, and their pets, with a particular emphasis on serving underrepresented, culturally diverse, and low-income communities.

The organization has received multiple federal and state sub-grant awards primarily from the Colorado Department of Human Services, Colorado Department of Public Safety, and Colorado Department of Local Affairs, consistently focusing on domestic violence victim support. These grants have funded a range of critical services including providing emergency shelter, advocacy services, comprehensive integrated support for victims and their dependent children, and assistance in developing sustainable domestic violence service networks. Recent notable awards include a $200,000 U.S. Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) Project Grant that will fund culturally responsive services meeting basic needs such as food, transportation, housing application fees, rent and utility deposits, moving expenses, and document acquisition costs for domestic violence victims. Additional grant activities have included COVID-19 response support through CARES Act funding, minor renovation projects to modernize facilities, and emergency shelter services for individuals at risk of homelessness, demonstrating the organization's versatile and critical role in supporting vulnerable populations.
