Covenant House builds a bridge to hope for young people facing homelessness and survivors of human trafficking through unconditional love, absolute respect, and relentless support. Our doors are open 24/7 in cities across the United States, Canada, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. Our strengths-based programs are designed to empower young people to rise and overcome adversity, today and in the future.
Each year, millions of young people across the countries where Covenant House operates programs face a period of homelessness. Our services and programs help youth overcome the harsh experience of being unhoused. At the same time, we advocate for public policies that address the roots of the crisis, focusing on justice, safety, and opportunity. With the dedicated support of our community, Covenant House helps young people transform their lives and confidently start on their path to independence.
Besides food, shelter, and clothing, our programs include outreach, medical and mental health care, education, workforce development and job placement, substance use treatment, civil legal aid services, young families, transitional and supportive apartment-living, and life skills training, in addition to public education and prevention.
Covenant House's doors are open to all young people who need housing and help, regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression. Our services and programs are available at no cost and no one is ever turned away without support of some kind. All young people are welcome here.
