Covenant House provides housing and supportive services to youth facing homelessness.
About us
No youth should ever be without a home — period. This urgent belief and over 50 years of experience have placed Covenant House at the forefront of the fight against youth homelessness. Founded in 1972, Covenant House is the largest primarily privately-funded agency in the North and Central America offering free 24/7 crisis care, housing, and supportive services for youth, young families, and survivors of human trafficking. Located in 34 cities across 5 countries (the United States, Canada, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico) Covenant House provides shelter, food, medical and mental health care, crisis intervention, educational and vocational services, and an array of supportive services to youth facing homelessness regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The Covenant House mission is centered and built on community, where youth, staff, volunteers, and partners love one another unconditionally, respect each other absolutely, and dedicate ourselves to a covenant of compassion and hope.

Read the latest from William Bedrossian in his new blog post about the Youth Ambassador program at Covenant House New York.
We can't end youth homelessness without listening to young people! Our youth ambassadors are some of the most committed and inspiring people I know! https://lnkd.in/e58SZz9r

The team at Chapin Hall has put together a valuable resource in the fight to end youth homelessness. Covenant House is looking forward to our upcoming collaboration to advocate for prevention.
#Homelessness is a systemic issue. It’s also a preventable one. Over 14 months, Chapin Hall collaborated with partners and young experts from across the homelessness space to transform their knowledge and experiences into a national #Prevention strategy. We conducted in-depth interviews to understand youth’s pathways through homelessness, hosted working groups to identify solutions, and did a systematic review of prevention evidence. Now, we have a national strategy to share that can help us build a future where every young person has the foundation for success: https://lnkd.in/g8hvxqJE

In 2018, Cisco made a historic pledge to address homelessness in Santa Clara County. They committed $50 million in grant funding over five years – the largest corporate donation of its kind at the time - and Covenant House California is a beneficiary. "Time and time again, Cisco has stepped up for Covenant House to help provide access to safe and long-term housing opportunities for youth facing homelessness. There is a tremendous need and opportunity to help young people out of homelessness and into employment and supported by a community that really cares about them, and I know we can count on Cisco to be with us every step of the way." - Bill Bedrossian, President and CEO Covenant House International Read more about Cisco's housing journey here: https://lnkd.in/ey6cWuP9

Pride month at Covenant House was filled with volunteer opportunities for our awesome corporate partners! From banner painting with QBE Insurance to kit packing with MetLife to bracelet making with Accenture, we had such a great time connecting our supporters and our youth over shared joy and Pride.

Today's decision by the Supreme Court in the Johnson v. Grants Pass case sets a dangerous precedent for the quarter of a million people who sleep outside each night in America and for the millions of families who are just one missed paycheck away from homelessness. This ruling makes it easier to jail or ticket homeless people and youth for sleeping outside, which will make homelessness worse. Covenant House stands unwavering in our commitment to be there for any youth who comes to our doors. Help end youth homelessness and create opportunities for self-reliance when you make your gift today: https://lnkd.in/eJ5MB93m.
