Shepherd's Gate
About Shepherd's Gate
Shepherd's Gate has earned a reputation for rebuilding shattered lives. Since 1984, we have helped over 14,000 women and children at our campuses in Livermore, CA and Brentwood, CA. We provide a safe haven for women and their children who are suffering from homelessness, addiction and domestic violence. Our Christ-centered long-term program provides the skills and opportunities the women need to be self-sufficient and successful when they graduate. Of our graduates, over 80% are successful in maintaining housing, their employment or education plan, and their sobriety a year after graduation.
What “Most Trusted” Means
Most Trusted is our highest designation, reflecting the full convergence of Christian stewardship, public transparency, and independently confirmed operational excellence. This ministry has been verified against all fifteen criteria of The Most Trusted Standard — every standard in our framework, across all four pillars of faith foundation, financial integrity, governance, and transparency.
Beyond meeting our baseline standards and demonstrating comprehensive public accountability, this ministry has been independently evaluated against rigorous nonprofit performance benchmarks and confirmed to operate at the highest standard in its sector.
