Opengate remains committed to making a positive impact in the lives of people with disabilities, honoring the vision of our founders, Edith Gray and Karla Lissauer. Today, we continue to foster a nurturing and empowering environment that promotes independence, inclusion, and growth for all residents. Through innovative programs and dedicated support, we strive to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. Our unwavering commitment to quality care and community engagement upholds the legacy of our founders as we work toward a brighter future for those we serve.

Currently, Opengate offers vocational training, therapeutic programs, recreational activities, social outlets, and skills training in areas such as money management and cooking. Our mission is to promote personal growth and community integration in a compassionate environment. What began as two houses with a handful of people has evolved into a robust network of day programs and 12 residential sites located in Somers, with others in Yorktown, Mohegan Lake, Ossining, and Pleasantville.

We support approximately 150 adults who have transitioned from home or aged out of school programs, many of whom have been with Opengate since its inception. We are deeply committed to ensuring dignity, respect, and a high quality of life for all, including those with behavioral challenges who may be turned away by other organizations.

Over the years, Opengate has expanded its reach to include community-based residences across various neighborhoods in the Hudson Valley, along with a day habilitation program in Lower Westchester County, community habilitation services, and supportive employment programs, all designed to help people with disabilities thrive and lead fulfilling, meaningful lives.

Residents of Opengate's facilities actively shape their daily routines, fostering independence, participating in their communities, exploring new experiences, and practicing self-advocacy. They receive around-the-clock care from Opengate's dedicated team, who work tirelessly to create safe, comfortable, and welcoming homes. 

In 2025, Opengate announced its merger with CAREERS Support Solutions, which opened a new chapter rooted in shared values and a unified mission: to help people with disabilities find meaningful employment.
