How Serious Is Youth Homelessness?
As many as 4.2 million young people will experience a period of homelessness this year in the U.S. alone. The causes of homelessness are complex, and many of the most vulnerable young people in our communities face the greatest risk.
Our Programs Reached Over 57,000 Young People
We provided more than 862,000 nights of safe housing to young people in the past year.
More than 2,400 young people wake up in a Covenant House bed every day.
We served 1.8 million meals to young people in the past year.
More Than 4 Million Young People Will Experience Homelessness This Year
Since 1972, we've opened our doors to more than 1.5 million young people experiencing homelessness and survivors of human trafficking. Every young person at Covenant House receives a warm bed, food, health and wellness services, a case manager, and, most important of all, unconditional love and absolute respect.
