The Citizen Potawatomi Nation stepped in with a $1.7 million donation to save it, only to attach a condition: if services stop, all assets revert to them. With Gateway closing on September 30, the Nation now owns the campus and is weighing how to continue mental health and recovery efforts — possibly using funds from the National Opioids Settlement. While the loss stings for those who relied on Gateway, its closure underscores the urgent need for accessible care and the fragility of nonprofit survival amid shrinking public support.
