No. While Gateway Center primarily serves individuals from Monterey County, we may also support individuals from other counties or states. However, referrals for services must be coordinated through San Andreas Regional Center (SARC) and are subject to eligibility requirements, funding authorization, and service availability. Individuals interested in Gateway Center services who are currently served by another Regional Center should work with their Service Coordinator to explore available options and pathways.
