Virtual Gateway Services

Virtual Gateway Services

The Virtual Gateway is the result of collaboration across multiple agencies to meet common goals:

  • Make it easier for consumers and the general public to find information about and enroll in human service programs.
  • Support the relationship between the Commonwealth and its community partners.
  • Promote worker productivity.

The Virtual Gateway reflects the Commonwealth’s effort, like many other state and local governments, to bring state-of-the-art customer service practices to the public sector. Toward that end, the Virtual Gateway has improved access to human services while streamlining service provisions.

Today the number of Massachusetts consumers, providers and agency workers accessing the Virtual Gateway has grown to over 1 million. Residents, human service clients, community provider organizations, and government workers use the Virtual Gateway every day to access services or to conduct business with EOHHS.

Virtual Gateway plays a major role supporting many of EOHHS’ strategic initiatives, including:
