For 50 years, Covenant House has been a bridge to hope for youth and young families overcoming homelessness, exploitation and trafficking through unconditional love, absolute respect, and relentless support. The doors to our Houses are open 24/7 in 33 cities across six countries and our programs are designed to empower young people to rise and overcome adversity, today and in the future. Our comprehensive program model builds a life-affirming bridge for young people. We engage youth on the street, providing low-barrier, short-term housing to meet their immediate needs, and longer-term transitional housing to assist those ready for more independent living.
