We are so grateful to the Mizuho Women's Initiative Network for their amazing contributions to back-to-school at CHNY for the second year in a row! Mizuho's impactful Back to School Drive provided backpacks and school supplies across all of our sites, ensuring students return to school with the resources they need to succeed. #ThisIsMizuho #MizuhoCares

Providing shelter and comprehensive services to young people experiencing homelessness in New York City.
About us
Each year in the United States, as many as 2 million youth experience homelessness of some kind, and every year more than 5,000 of these young people lose their lives to the streets. For over 45 years, Covenant House New York (CHNY) has been a leader in providing residential services to vulnerable homeless, runaway and exploited youth. As the largest provider of runaway and homeless youth services in New York City, CHNY serves nearly 1,800 young adults aged 16-24 annually with an operating budget of over 24 million dollars. Our doors are open to all young people who need help, regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. We facilitate our services using trauma-informed principles and provide a holistic approach to young people who are attempting to leave the streets and achieve independence. We also advocate for systemic change by influencing public policy and promoting awareness of critical issues related to young people experiencing homelessness. Covenant House New York’s mission is to help each young person find safety and refuge from the dangers of living on the streets. We do this through compassion, unconditional love and absolute respect.

Today is Health Care for People Experiencing Homelessness Day & we want to highlight our Community Health Center (CHC) and the importance of providing affordable, quality healthcare to those experiencing homelessness. People experiencing homelessness face higher rates of chronic disease, mental health issues, and other conditions. CHCs provide essential care continuity to address these health challenges. #NHCW24 #ValueCHCs

We recently got to celebrate 32 CHNY youth who graduated from high school or GED programs. "I want you to promise me today that you are not going to give up. I want you to promise me today that you are going to keep moving forward, keep striving, and keep on your journey towards thriving." - Dr. Shakeema North, CHNY CEO. The ceremony had senior staff enter in the processional, and a welcome by SVP of Support Services, Lyndell Pittman. The keynote speaker was Rah Thomas Managing Director at Accenture. Rah is on the Covenant House International Board of Directors and has been dedicated to our work for several years. The class address was given by Gisele Morgan the Principal of Pathways to Graduation (P2G). Gisele continuously supports our CovWorks program in whatever way we need. We are so proud of these CHNY youth!

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.
