November 2020
Housing & Client Services Center - Groundbreaking
From our founding in 1988, our mission remains to provide our clients with a place where they may stabilize their health. Housing and Healthcare alone are not enough. Our clients and their families also need services to address a mix of life-limiting challenges.

On Wednesday, November 18, a small group gathered to break ground and celebrate the start of construction for our new housing and client services center.

The event was live-streamed to allow supporters the opportunity to watch from home. A recording of the event can be viewed by clicking here.

COVID-19 Precautions
With increases in COVID-19 cases nationally and globally, we are taking every precaution to keep our clients, residents, and staff safe. Our lobby has been transformed into two protected workstations which feature a plexiglass divider. Occupancy limits for rooms have been reduced and all meetings are virtual, when possible.

With rising unbudgeted COVID-19 related expenses, your ongoing support is needed as we continue to protect this very vulnerable and medically fragile population.

Meet Our New Teammate
While DOORWAYS has so much to look forward to, we’re also learning to celebrate the present. Even during a pandemic DOORWAYS continues to stay focused on holistic care and offering new services to our clients. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our new Director of Behavioral Health Jess Cox.
JESS COX

Jess joins the organization after several years at St. Patrick’s Center, where she managed their Rapid Rehousing program and also spent time as an employment specialist. She is a recent graduate of Maryville University where she obtained her Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling and is currently working on her counseling certification. Jess is tasked with pioneering a program designed to improve behavioral health outcomes through best practices and collaborations with local experts. While only in the position for a few days, Jess has hit the ground running and is quickly getting to know our clients.

DOORWAYS is proud to welcome Jess to the team, and we’re pleased to offer additional behavioral health services to our clients. The funding for this new program was made possible by Missouri Foundation for Health; the Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital; Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation, LLC; and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
